• The Board announces an "anti-occupation plan" after registering 1,183 occupations in six months in Andalusia

  • Interview Marifrán Carazo: "There will be no general amnesty for illegal housing"

The 'squatters' who have been convicted or sanctioned, whether in criminal, civil or administrative proceedings, for illegal occupations of farms, houses or flats will be banned from gaining access to

public housing

in Andalusia. The Andalusian Government of the PP and Citizens has approved this Tuesday to demand as a requirement to be able to opt for an official protection home (VPO) that the beneficiary has not been fined or convicted of an illegal occupation.

This has been explained by the Minister of Development, Infrastructure and Territory Planning,

Marifrán Carazo

, who hopes that this measure will have a

"deterrent effect"

and will reduce illegal occupations in the Andalusian community that, as detailed, have increased during the pandemic of the coronavirus. Of course, there will be exceptions. In the case of families in circumstances of "vulnerability guaranteed by social services", they will be able to access public housing, even if one of their members has been convicted or fined for illegal occupation.

"Occupation is a problem," said Carazo, who believes that it is a source of "concern", not only for homeowners, but for Andalusians in general "because of the

problems of coexistence

it generates."

Between December 2020 and December 2021, the Board has received almost

a hundred calls

related to illegal occupations of homes.

Given this scenario, Minister Carazo has indicated that a

national

'anti-squatting' plan is "urgent" and has criticized the "passivity" of the central government, chaired by the socialist Pedro Sánchez, with this matter.

Instead of solving these problems, the central government -in the opinion of Minister Carazo- is "more concerned" with implementing an

"interventionist" model

in the housing market, in reference to the Housing Law, which has already been censored by the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ).

The counselor has asked the Government of Pedro Sánchez to start the dialogue with the

autonomous communities

on the Housing Law "from scratch", because until now "it has not counted on us", despite the fact that the powers in this matter are "exclusive "of the communities.

Faced with the model of the central government, "interventionist" and that "invades powers", Carazo has defended that of the Andalusian Executive, chaired by Juanma Moreno, who is committed to

social rental

and the construction of new protected housing.

3,000 public housing

In fact, at the Governing Council held this Tuesday, the Minister of Public Works presented the

Ecohousing Plan

, which has a budget of 173 million euros from the Next Generation of the European Union (EU) that will allow the construction of 3,000 homes on publicly owned land.

These homes will be

rented at an affordable price

and will be added to the other 3,000 that the Andalusian Government has already promoted in this legislature thanks to the Rental Promotion program, with 80 million euros in subsidies for public and private developers for affordable homes. from 200 to 400 euros per month.

Carazo has highlighted that the construction of these 6,000 homes promoted by the Andalusian Executive "breaks" with the policies maintained by the previous Andalusian government of the PSOE, which had spent years "without raising a single VPO", as he has denounced.

In the package of new homes, the Governing Council has also authorized a subsidy of almost five million euros for the construction of 234 homes in the

Nueva Granada Park

in the capital, where this same company will build another block with 122 flats thanks to this Plan Vive program in Andalusia.

The Ecovivienda Plan presented this Tuesday plans to execute, in total,

373 million

euros of Next Generation funds to act on

33,000 homes

in Andalusia, both for the rehabilitation of the residential stock and for construction. The investment, which will benefit 100,000 Andalusians, will generate 24,000 direct jobs in the sector and will reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by 100,000 tons, the equivalent of that emitted by 45,454 cars, according to data from the Board.

Andalusia will receive, on the one hand, 200 million for the

rehabilitation

program , with which 29,210 properties will be improved.

This investment is divided into five blocks.

In the first place, a program of aid for the rehabilitation of neighborhoods aimed at municipalities for public or private housing, with 60 million euros.

6.4 million euros are also collected for the creation of rehabilitation offices that will act as single windows to facilitate the processing of subsidies with the collaboration of professional associations.

Likewise, a book of the building will be prepared for the rehabilitation and drafting of rehabilitation projects, with 7.5 million.
