Manuel Padín stresses that in the report presented on the 2018 management of the Housing Assistance and Intermediation Service of the City Council, "it is clear that they are still pending to establish a collaboration protocol with the Ministry of Public Works, an issue that we have already transferred to our colleagues in the Assembly".
On the occasion of the delivery of the keys today of eight social housing units in Cartagena when there are 201 families from Cartagena registered in the municipal register of social housing applicants under lease, the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has indicated that "probably the Real number of families that has this need is much greater, taking into account that the waiting list in the city of Murcia is about 1,200 families, we calculate that in Cartagena we should be between 400 and 500 ".
"It is to be assumed that in the coming years, this register will increase as the knowledge of this municipal service increases and approaches the figure we are considering that is practically twice that of the current one", explained Manuel Padín.
Citizens argues that Cartagena can only meet 4 percent of current demand, "which can only increase with the years when the record that has been launched for the first time is popular," Manuel Padín has qualified.
"It is important that we are realistic, non-conformist, we must restart talks with the Ministry of Development and the Ministry to increase their contributions to the construction and qualification of social housing in the municipality, a policy that have been neglected for years," the orange spokesman has indicated.
Manuel Padín stresses that in the report presented on the 2018 management of the Housing Assistance and Intermediation Service of the City Council, "it is clear that they are still pending to establish a collaboration protocol with the Ministry of Public Works, an issue that we have already transferred to our colleagues in the Assembly to ask for explanations to the Ministry ".
Cs considers that in addition to the aid, the municipal rent guarantee, increasing the tax incentives for homeowners to transfer them to social uses would also help to deflate the bubble that exists in the rental of tourist apartments, "a growing concern which is already generating a general increase in rent ", explained the Cs spokeswoman.
Finally, Padín believes that there is a lot of room to optimize the coordination of municipal plans for social rent with similar projects of the Community and the State.
