Municipal Councillor of the Socialist Group, Susana Hernandez, reported Thursday the proposals that the PSOE presented at the Bureau of Social Housing rental.

"What socialists want is access to rental housing, both young people who want to emancipate themselves and to those families whose members have lost their jobs and can not afford a high rent is provided," said Hernandez.

The socialist mayor recalled that exists in Murcia a large number of empty houses while there is also a high demand in the rental market.

"The city of Murcia with the PP in front has never done anything to try to be an intermediary between those with empty houses and those in need", he stated.

Hernandez has insisted that "the PSOE has always been sensitive to the need for housing they have, especially our youth, unable to access their first home with prices usual rent, families who have been subject to eviction or pensioners struggling to pay rent, on many occasions, is superior to their pensions. "

"We can not allow that while some people demand access to social housing at an affordable rent, there is a market of empty houses and a totally inactive local administration and also boasting surplus at year end. A surplus fruit of that inaction and that is reflected in the more than half million euros budgeted to be stopped spending in 2015 in this regard, "he added.

"From the Municipal Socialist Group we propose the creation of a census of empty houses, with which we can locate houses and know since when are obsolete. They also requested an increase in the number of social housing (currently there are 1,156 people on the waiting list ). We also propose to increase rent subsidies, as current are totally inadequate according to the council itself, which show that the aid has reached 184 people of the 573 applicants, "said Susana Hernandez.

Another proposal of the Socialists is an outreach program of empty housing, which the owners of these homes can transfer their use to the City of Murcia for it to develop a bank holiday to everyone Murcia and Murcia, with economic benefits and guarantees for owners regarding the collection of rents and housing maintenance.

"We will continue to insist on these initiatives and will work for the next Budget collect a significant increase in allocations for such proposals. We will not tolerate the PP government again stop lying to young people and families with such an important issue is the right to housing, "he concluded.
