From former railway houses to social housing: the PSPV plan to achieve affordable rents

The candidate of the PSPV-PSOE Dénia and current mayor of the city, Vicent Grimalt, has confirmed today a new proposal that will include the program for the elections on May 28 in terms of housing: «As we already have the General Structural Plan (PGE) approved, since last week, we can announce that we are going to ask the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and the Urban Agenda to initiate the necessary procedures so that the plot located between Manuel Lattur street and Joan Fuster avenue, the one with the old houses of the railway, is intended for the construction of housing for public promotion.

Approximate location of the social housing stock proposed by the PSPV

The plot, with a surface area of ​​3.280 m2, is owned by the central government, specifically by Penitentiary Institutions, and in the PGE it is classified as urban land, predominantly for residential use.

"This week we will send the letter to Minister Sánchez Jiménez to request that she inform us of the procedures to be carried out for the construction of social housing on that plot," Grimalt announced.

This proposal is added to that of the creation of a public housing park of the Dénia Socialists program, to guarantee access to affordable rentals and of which the SAREB properties that Moncloa wants to dedicate to putting alternatives on the market could be part affordable housing.
