Solution to the problem housing In the urban centers of Thessaly and the islands of the Sporades is intended to give Region of Thessaly in collaboration with the Bank of Development of the Council of Europe, which will support it with a loan.
It is a dynamic system capable of promoting the largest economic transformation of the Thessaly Region, as they are gradually planned from 500 to 1000 houses that will form a friendly economic housing environment for young couples, students, seasonal employees and vulnerable financial citizens who do not afford the financial citizens. The average rental payment will be 275 euros.
The rents paid will be 250 euros for houses of 40 sqm and 300 euros for 80 sqm residences.
Thessaly Regional Governor Dimitris Kouretas today announced to the Regional Council the plan and steady support of the Region’s social mission, to resolve the crucial issue of housing facing families, students, employees, young couples, seasonal and seasonal employees.
The bank is in Paris, it is a separate legal entity and is autonomous in making its decisions. It has an excellent credit rating by Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s and Fitch Ratings and the loan it will grant to the Region of Thessaly will be interest -free.
The aim of the region’s leadership today is to promote social cohesion by launching solutions to the housing.
Mr Kouretas announced that the lending of the Region will have a 25 -year horizon, with a loan of 5.7m euros for every 100 homes, with its aim to build 500 to 1000 houses. Beneficiaries will pay half the rent from the market in the market, depending on the squares of each home, with the regional governor stressing that there will be no increases.
The average area of each home will be 60 square meters and the cost of construction is estimated at 900 euros per square. The plots of erection of housing will be available by municipalities and the district loan will be completely self -funded as it will be repaid by tenants.
The Regional Governor told the Regional Council that the Region would repay the loan from rental revenue, without burdening the state budget. The interest -free loan is contributing to the financial viability of the project and there will be a possible leverage with additional financial tools (eg NSRF, Recovery Fund).
Which areas are in priority
- Islands – Sporades: The explosion of tourism development leads to a lack of accessible home for vulnerable groups and seasonal workers, and the difficulty of establishing civil servants (teachers, teachers, doctors).
- Urban areas (Volos, Larissa, Trikala, Karditsa): Lack of student residence and high rental costs.
- Mountains and remote areas: Rapid population shrinkage due to police and depreciation of infrastructure.
Characteristics of the project
- Borrower: Region of Thessaly, which has reliability, administrative competence, long -term planning.
- Cooperation with Municipalities: Recording and concession to the Region of Unused real estate and land:
- Drawing on feasibility and viability studies, ripening and application.
- Implementation: Construction of Efficient Efficient Houses Category A. and application of smart technologies (eg energy management, digital access).
- Management & Monitoring: Creating a transparent system of selecting and home distribution mechanism
The project is fully self -funded, without the same participation, with an annual net surplus of 35,500 euros, which can cover unpredictable expenses, can create a reserve for future maintenance or expansion, the creation of a residential refreshing fund, special social invoices for more vulnerable beneficiaries.
The social impact that may prove is the rates of housing cost reduction, population growth in mountainous areas, decrease in energy poverty, etc.
