Pedro Rodrigues calls for housing investment beyond PRR
Madeira GuidePedro Rodrigues said Madeira's housing policy should continue after the PRR, with public, private and cooperative investment.
During the PSD/Madeira Parliamentary Days, Pedro Rodrigues said public investment in housing in Madeira should continue beyond the Recovery and Resilience Plan, or PRR. He named the Regional Budget, Madeira 2030 and the 1.Âş Direito programme as support for continued investment.
Rodrigues said Madeira has about 130,000 dwellings for approximately 95,000 households, with an estimated 7,000 homes outside the market. He said public housing accounts for about 4% of the regional housing stock.
He said the PRR had allowed faster construction of new homes, some of which have started to be delivered. He said the regional housing policy would not end with the programme and that the Regional Government and municipalities should continue to respond to families unable to access the market.
Rodrigues said increasing supply could not depend exclusively on the public sector. He called for incentives to make private and cooperative investment in construction and rental more attractive, particularly for controlled-cost housing.
In Santa Cruz, Rodrigues highlighted the implementation of 80 homes in the parish of Santa Cruz through Madeira 2030. He said construction of another 22 homes in Bairro da Nogueira was being prepared and that the goal was to continue and increase the scale of investment started with the PRR.
