Five families apply for two social rental flats in Llardecans, where the city council has opened the allocation process for two remodeled homes with the aim of attracting new residents and favoring the repopulation of the municipality.
The deadline to submit applications ends on Tuesday the 7th. The review of the documentation will be done the following day, the 8th, when the council expects to award the flats and choose the beneficiary persons, as explained by the mayor, Xavier Mor.
Two renovated homes to attract population
The intervention has involved an investment of 125,000 euros. Of this amount, the Provincial Council has contributed 100,000 euros through the Demographic Challenge program, focused on repopulation measures in small municipalities.
The two homes have a kitchen-diner, two washbasins, and three bedrooms. One of the apartments is located on Nou de la Bassa street and will have a rent of 410 euros. The other is located in Plaça dels Arbres and its monthly rent will be 320 euros.
Mor has specified that a family of Syrian refugees lived in the home in Plaça dels Arbres and that now the city council is putting it out to tender again after several improvement works.
Criteria for the award
The council will prioritize young people, with entrepreneurial projects or with the intention of opening a business in the municipality, in addition to committing to register in Llardecans. Having children of school age is another of the criteria that add points in the award.
The mayor has pointed out that the city council has four apartments enabled for rent aimed at young people and that two of them have already been rented for some time. The period of stay in these homes is between 4 and 7 years.
The initiative has a rotating character to facilitate that new neighbors interested in settling in the town and starting an economic activity can access these properties.
New phase of the accessibility service in the Segrià Sud
In parallel, the Segrià Sud Consortium launches a new phase of the housing accessibility advisory service, after a first stage. The project began last month with new visits to the municipalities adhered to the consortium.
This work is developed in collaboration with the non-profit entity Social House and with the Associació Silikon Social Innovació i Territori. The service offers a personalized diagnosis of homes to adapt them to the needs of user people and reinforce security in the domestic environment.
With this double front, Llardecans and Segrià Sud seek to gain residents, facilitate access to housing and improve habitability conditions in an area where fixing population continues to be a municipal priority.
