The board of directors of the public company Viviendas Sociales e Infraestructuras de Canarias (Visocan) has agreed this Friday the purchase of 39 homes in different parts of the archipelago to make them available to evicted families or at risk of launching.
In a statement, Visocan details that this acquisition is part of the “Canarias + Vivienda X familia” program, which is aimed at promoting access to housing for cohabitation units that have lost or are at risk of losing their habitual residence, by a judicial process of foreclosure or eviction.
The distribution of these new 39 homes is as follows:
Garachico (Tenerife): 9 dwellings.
The Village of San Nicolás (Gran Canaria): 3 dwellings.
San Cristóbal de La Laguna (Tenerife): 3 dwellings.
Los Realejos (Tenerife): 3 dwellings.
San Juan de La Rambla (Tenerife): 11 homes.
La Orotava (Tenerife): 10 homes.
Víctor González, managing director of Visocan, explains that the recipients of these homes will be families with children, “with problems”, and who are at risk of becoming homeless.
He also points out that they are in the process of locating and acquiring more units.
The program also offers advice and mediation to those who are in a situation of housing risk; follow-up and accompaniment of people by coexistence units adhered to the program and preparation and management of a housing stock for social rental.
