The president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, visited yesterday, together with the Minister of Works, Public, Housing and Mobility, Pablo Rodríguez, a group of 57 homes that the Executive acquired through the public company Visocan in the neighborhood of Los Andenes, in Taco, in the municipality of La Laguna.

These homes will be delivered this week to more than 57 families registered in the Public Registry of Protected Housing Claimants of the Canary Islands, who will have them on an affordable rental basis for seven years.
Clavijo highlighted that this promotion allows us to continue expanding the number of properties that the Executive makes available to the families who need it most to face the housing emergency that the Archipelago is suffering, allowing them access to a rental that adjusts to their economic situation.

For his part, Pablo Rodríguez explained that his department will continue with the development of the Canary Islands Housing Plan 2020-2025: “In the long term, we will continue to focus on the construction of properties. “We are working on the creation of an urban land pool for future actions with the town councils, but we will also promote the acquisition of unfinished housing developments.” Visocan plans to deliver another 348 homes on the Island between the last quarter of 2023 and during 2024, in La Orotava, Icod de los Vinos and Santa Cruz.
Likewise, Rosa Dávila recalled that one of the “biggest problems” of the Island is housing, so it was a “pride and honor to make this promotion promoted by the Government available to the citizens of La Laguna.”
Along these lines, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez indicated that it was an “important” day for the municipality and that it demonstrates the “good relationship” between the three administrations to “be able to solve the high problem of housing demand that we have from citizens.” .
This development is a building whose works were paralyzed, with only 65% completed, and which remained unfinished for more than fifteen years. Visocan acquired the property for a value of 6.5 million, financed with its own funds and with a subsidy from an agreement between the Autonomous Community and the State.
