SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 8 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Housing of the Government of the Canary Islands, through the Canary Islands Housing Institute (Icavi) and in collaboration and coordination with the public company Visocan, has offered a home from the Canary Islands Government housing stock to Hugo, a minor under the age of 16 who lost almost all of his mobility after an accident, and his family.
This home is located in a development in the Los Andenes neighborhood, in Tenerife, and has been transferred to the family by Visocan, provisionally, until Icavi assigns it a permanent home in its public park in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
The director, Maribel Santana, reported this Wednesday in a meeting with the child’s mother, Jennifer de La Rosa, that the institute’s technicians have located this house that is located on the first floor with an elevator.
After the family accepts this option, Icavi, in coordination with Visocan, will begin to carry out the work to adapt the home to the mobility needs of the minor.
At this meeting, the director also informed Jennifer de La Rosa that given the particular situation of the family, the Institute will offer them a subsidy to pay the rent for this house while the construction of a new development of the public park in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, collects a note from the regional government.
Through the 2020-25 Canary Islands Housing Plan, it is estimated to increase the public park of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, so Santana has already advanced the family the possibility of moving them in the future to an adapted home that corresponds to a public promotion.
During this day, the director of the Icavi, in agreement with the counselor Sebastián Franquis, has also met with Miguel Plana and his family, to analyze the possible housing alternatives available to the public park on the island of Gran Canaria to attend to their special situation also related to problems in finding a house adapted to their conditions of reduced mobility.
In this way, it is expected to give a favorable response to the young man and his family in the near future.
