SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 23rd May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Ministry of Public Works, Housing, and Transportation of the Canary Islands government, under the Canary Islands Housing Institute, has given the green light to a project for the construction of thirteen secure homes for public development in Los Pasitos, La Chacona, located in the municipality of Güímar.
Pablo Rodríguez, the councilor for the area, emphasized the significance of this initiative: “We are committed to facilitating the access to housing for the citizens of the Canary Islands by constructing secure and affordable homes that enhance their quality of life and contribute to the sustainable development of our islands.”
The project, with a budget of 2,828,544.52 Euros, not only includes the construction of the residences but also subprojects for electrical installations, fire protection systems, thermal installations, plumbing, sanitation infrastructures, and telecommunications.
This development, set to be completed within 24 months, is part of the Canary Islands Housing Plan 2020-2025, which outlines various programs to create housing environments promoting territorial cohesion and social inclusion.
The construction of these residences underscores the ongoing commitment of the Canary Islands government to enhance residential infrastructure on the islands, bolstering housing policies aimed at ensuring accessibility, sustainability, and quality for all its residents.
Ongoing Initiatives
As part of the Canary Islands Housing Plan, ICAVI is currently carrying out a project in La Orotava to build 65 officially protected residences in the San Antonio neighbourhood.
Moreover, the urgent processing of the contracting file for the construction of eleven publicly promoted subsidized residences in La Jurada, in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, in Tenerife, has been approved.
In line with these efforts, the Ministry has initiated the drafting of projects for a group of 24 residences in the municipality of Guía de Isora, with a budget of 141,254.22 Euros for the project’s development.
Additionally, ICAVI has announced the acceptance of a proposal to award the contract for drafting projects and managing the energy rehabilitation and accessibility works for three groups of publicly promoted protected residences in Los Menceyes, in Candelaria; Los Olivos, in Adeje; and La Esperanza, in El Rosario.
Furthermore, the rehabilitation and maintenance work on a group of 41 residences in Granadilla de Abona has been successfully completed.
Finally, the Canary Islands Housing Institute has provided two public premises to the ‘Inserta Youth’ project by the Association of Insertion Companies of the Canary Islands (ADEICAN) and the ‘Domitila Hernández Association’ to carry out non-profit social initiatives in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
The public social housing company of the Canary Islands (Visocan) also has four initiatives in Tenerife: 52 residences in Icod de los Vinos, 78 properties in La Orotava, and 100 in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
