The plenary session of La Laguna unanimously agreed yesterday, in an extraordinary and urgent session, to urge the Canarian Housing Institute “to prepare a report on the management of the 119 protected homes in San Matías, in order to determine the responsibilities of the that there be place” and, in case of detection, “that they be transferred to the judicial authority”, ensuring the interest of the residents. In addition, a meeting with the institute and Visocan is requested to “study alternatives to solve the problem of the debt of those families who were once housed in these homes and who could not afford the rent on an ongoing basis.”
These are two of the points of the motion that came to plenary yesterday, after the groups decided in the last ordinary session to work on a joint agreement, which would lead to an extraordinary one, to help the families of this class with the recent debt claim by Visocan, owner of the same, to twenty of them, with threat of eviction.
The motion approved yesterday, “based on the legality and the powers of the City Council”, pointed out the Councilor for Social Welfare, Rubens Ascanio, also agrees to “recognize these families their treatment for economic purposes” for “aid to the rents of the subsidized housing awarded by the Autonomous Community on a rental basis until they are actually awarded social housing”. Likewise, Visocan is urged “to put into use the homes that remain vacant in its developments” and “a neighborhood assembly will be convened to report on the agreement and study the actions to be carried out,” among other points. Prior to the debate on this agreement, there were two neighborhood interventions by residents of the development in which they asked for action to be taken urgently, instead of urging other administrations, understanding that solutions were not going to be achieved with the motion.
Likewise, the Plenary approved the new ordinance of subsidies to citizen entities, which facilitates access to aid and increases the amounts, among other improvements. Now it will be published in the BOP, with one month for allegations, with the forecast that it may come into force in September.
