The Mayor of Vila Nova de Gaia said today that the target audience of social housing is no longer just “the poor” and became part of the “impoverished middle classes”.
In the seminar on municipal housing “2020, Housing and Social Inclusion”, held today in Porto, Eduardo Vitor Rodrigues (PS) pointed out the change of target audience as a new challenge to be faced by the sector public housing.
“The [social] dwellings were for the poor of the poor abarracadas areas or less abarracadas areas. The time now is no longer just the poor, has to give response to the impoverished middle classes” said at the seminar organized by the Portuguese Association of Municipal Housing.
The mayor characterized these new recipients as people who “had stabilized lives with houses acquired bank or leases in something expensive areas” and that, due to from unemployment, no longer able to pay these charges.
“But this public is not equal in social valuations,” warned the mayor, referring to the impoverished middle classes “want to go to a house but not for a [determined] neighborhood, want to go home dilute the social fabric “he said.
Thus, the housing policy, according to Eduardo Vitor Rodrigues,” have to ‘deterritorialized’ “, ie” let being a one and unique territory, often closed, not to say ‘guetizado’ less territory neighborhood and more portfolio “
So, defended the mayor, should be adopted.”: a territory diversified to dilute, integrating the inhabitants in public housing in the city itself. “
Although characterize as” virtuous lease, “the mayor said that one should” continue to favor the acquisition in most the cases. ”
