Change Murcia has proposed to increase the resources allocated to municipal aid for rental housing, which mainly people welcome low-income, single parents, victims of domestic violence, victims of evictions, families with disabled and other vulnerable housing, in order to take in a maximum period of one year and a half all the demands.
One of the measures of the plan is to increase the budget of 370,000 euros that the City invests 740,000 today, from cover 32 percent of applications to 64 percent in 2016, and increase it up to 1.1 million next year and to cover all applicants in Murcia are about 570 households.
It is a "perfectly achievable goal" which requires, in the words of the coordinator of the Cluster of Economics Let's change Murcia, Paco Balibrea, of "an investment underperforming within the municipal budget of 404 million euros to reach important social outcomes" as is ensuring access to housing for people with more difficulties.
The additional amount would be drawn, according to the plan, a credit transfer originating in the game for which the benefit is guaranteed to private companies that are awarded sports concessions, which already have another provision in the municipal budget, or contingency fund, whose mission is to address social emergencies.
The City Council has shown a clear sloppiness in housing policy.
For example, in 2015 the award of Terra Natura theme park has dedicated a grant of three million euros to ensure business profit, while in the same year has spent only 1.9 billion euros in all its housing policy .
According Let's change, "if the Consistory had stayed with 10 percent of floor urban use of new developments, or the equivalent in finished home. Today it would have a very important park, but that money was capitalized, was lost in advertising and propaganda, and we are now without public housing. "
A housing stock increasingly exiguous
The training has also opted municipalist within the local housing policies for enhancing the city park, consisting of 1,003 houses owned by the City;
increase the number of units to suit the real needs of the municipality and repair that are not in perfect conditions.
According to the councilman Nacho Tornel, many of these homes are in the process of privatization, so that the trend of the park, far from being characterized by an increase in volume to facilitate the more possible families rent, is reduced and trailing properties year after year.
Therefore, let's change it a priority that all records of sale of municipal housing paralyzed and guide policy towards increasing supply through agreements temporary assignment in usufruct with SAREB and banks owners of empty houses in the village and agreements after auction houses that are foreclosed.
At the same time, Balibrea has highlighted the need for the government team urge the Housing Service to consider whether the budget aimed at repairing the park, 248,050 euros, is sufficient for proper maintenance of homes or, in contrast, not covered by guarantees deficiencies them.
Unwillingness to raise
It also urges the council to take the necessary measures to increase grossed by abnormally low or to be provided to the Housing Service staff needed vacation.
In fact, the data show that of the 927,160 euros that the Consistory could raise per year (on average) only collects 246,865 (26.6 percent of the total), which does not contribute to a policy of acquisition of new housing municipal and barely enough to maintain and repair existing in decent conditions.
For example, the Housing City Council, which is responsible for managing the collection of rents, rent subsidies and park maintenance, almost a third of the staff is not operational by low or because the seats are not covered despite being equipped fiscally.
This makes the service is "subdued" and prevents workers can cope with current workloads to be produced and carried out a policy of expansion of rent subsidies and municipal housing.
Since training is advocated fill vacancies and hire two social workers to help relieve the backlog and meet the new loads.
