The Canarian Housing Institute (Icavi) has declared the provisional award for the development of the basic project and execution of 59 public housing units in Granadilla de Abona. This includes the construction of buildings and the preparation of associated subprojects concerning electrical systems, fire safety measures, heating installations, plumbing, sanitation, and telecommunications. The overall investment totals 340,260 euros, divided into two lots.
The first lot pertains to the work to be carried out on a site in Cuevas de Cho Portada, where 47 homes are to be constructed. This has been awarded to David Miguel Navas for a sum of 254,660 euros. The second lot, designated for the Poncela site which will accommodate 12 homes, has been entrusted to the company Asier Centol Ruiz at a cost of 85,600 euros.
With this approval, the Canarian Government reiterates its strong commitment to enhance the availability of protected housing in the Archipelago and promote social and regional cohesion, particularly in areas experiencing high demand.
Under the Canary Islands Housing Plan, the Department of Public Works, Housing and Mobility currently has three projects in progress. Firstly, there are 65 properties under construction in La Orotava, alongside the development of a project for 17 publicly promoted protected homes in El Sauzal and 11 publicly promoted protected homes in La Jurada, also situated in Granadilla de Abona.
Furthermore, the public firm Visocan is constructing 100 homes in Santa Cruz, seven in La Orotava, and 52 in Icod de los Vinos.
Via the Next Generation funds from the EU, Icavi has commissioned the design of the execution project for 60 homes in Arona, 45 in Adeje, and 24 in Guía de Isora. Additionally, the Ministry has allocated 2,174,975 euros to the Municipal Society of Housing and Services of La Laguna (Muvisa) for the purchase of 56 homes.
All housing initiatives in the Canary Islands are implemented under the +Vican initiative, aimed at reinforcing and synchronising housing policies in the Archipelago. The primary aim of this strategy is to deliver a comprehensive solution to the housing crisis through the execution of sustainable and inclusive solutions. +Vican strives to ensure access to adequate housing, prioritise the most vulnerable groups, and foster balanced territorial development that meets the current needs of the Canarian populace.
