The Delegate of the Government, Sabrina Moh, has reported that the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda (MIVAU) has concluded an agreement with the Autonomous City of Melilla, to finance the construction of 48 homes in energy-efficient buildings intended for social rent.
As the head of the Government Delegation has said, MIVAU will contribute 1,410,000 euros of the 5.1 million euros budgeted for the implementation of these projects, divided into two actions, from the NextGenerationEU funds within the framework of the Transformation and Resilience Recovery Plan (PRTR).
The agreement includes aid for the construction of two housing developments that will be directly executed by the Autonomous City of Melilla itself under public promotion, Moh explained.
Through this aid plan, the Ministry headed by Isabel Rodríguez aims to finance the increase in the public housing stock for social rent or affordable prices, through new construction promotions on publicly owned land.
As established by the agreement between the Ministry and the City, these homes will be part of the public park for a minimum period of 50 years and their consumption of non-renewable primary energy must be at least 20% lower than the requirements required in the Technical Building Code. The works must be completed by June 30, 2026.
For this program, endowed with 1 billion euros, 705,000 euros were transferred to the Autonomous City of Melilla in the year 2022, and the financial commitment has been formalized from the annuality of the year 2023 for the same amount. Therefore, with these actions Melilla exhausts the budget allocated to the program in its territorial scope.
The assistance provided is up to 700 euros per square meter of useful living space with a maximum of 50,000 euros per house.
