Over 3,000 applications for the “Renovate & Rent” – of which 1,200 in Ilia were recalled, according to what the Minister of Social Cohesion and Family told ertnews today, Domna Michailidou.
Specifically, Ms. Michailidou stated that in addition to the 3,700 applications for “Renovate – Rent” that were pre-approved normally, an advance payment was revoked for over 3,000 applications, of which 1,200 were in Ilia, where indicatively 20 people irregularly claimed the state grant for a house. “We saw something strange, that 1/3 of the program is concentrated in Ilia and we say what is happening over there”, said Domna Michailidou. “Because luckily we caught it and no public money was given, no criminal offense is being charged at this time. The important thing is that since all these are digital elements, the system remembers and there is a memory for specific applications, so we plan programs but we also check them”, emphasized the Minister.
“Renovate – Rent” provides a 14,000 euro direct grant and a 50% down payment, financing 60% of the renovation and 50% of the financing.
