The president of the Canary Islands Government, Paulino Rivero, assured this Monday on the island that with the new Canary Islands Housing Plan "we will be able to reach about 4,000 families from Lanzarote". A figure extracted from the experience of the previous plan that has just ended, and which with an investment of about 100 million euros benefited 2,646 families from Lanzarote. Now, in this new edition, it is expected to mobilize 200 million euros on the island in the next three years, and Rivero is confident that "by adding efforts, ideas and proposals", the scope will be expanded.
"The Canary Islands Housing Plan is a powerful tool to contribute to the improvement of the crisis from the local level, because it will mobilize 2,800 million euros in our islands," added Rivero. Therefore, "in addition to offering a new housing possibility to families with lower incomes, we will create jobs".
The Canarian president highlighted that within the products for citizens to access housing, there is "the construction of homes for families with lower incomes, who pay for rent between 2 and 90 euros per month"; youth housing, the promotion of rehabilitation and a "very novel line such as having 2,000 homes that are sold to be delivered for rent for 50 euros per month".
Canarian Housing Space
Paulino Rivero made these statements at the inauguration of the Canarian Housing Space, which will remain open until January 22 in the Ramírez Cerdá park in Arrecife. At the event, he was accompanied by the Minister of Social Welfare, Youth and Housing, Inés Rojas, the director of the Canarian Housing Institute, Jerónimo Fregel, and local authorities.
The tent has an exhibition area on the main parameters of the new Canary Islands Housing Plan and the most important aid aimed at both young people and the elderly, with mobility problems or groups in social fragility, and has a space that will provide personalized advice through the experts who will attend to the people who visit this facility.
In addition, informative conferences will be held aimed at both the staff of the municipal housing offices and the promoters, financial entities and municipal officials
