The action is part of the collaboration agreement signed between both administrations to expand the public housing stock in La Gomera
VISOCAN also promotes the acquisition of unfinished developments on the Island with an additional investment of 1.5 million euros
The Cabildo of La Gomera and Social Housing and Infrastructure of the Canary Islands (VISOCAN) have announced the putting out to tender of the project and the works for the construction of 36 protected homes in the Tecina area, an action that will have an investment of close to 7 million euros and is part of the collaboration agreement signed to promote public housing on the Island.
The action includes the drafting of the project, the construction management and the execution of the work for the construction of a building with protected housing, parking spaces and storage rooms. In addition, the project incorporates partially industrialized techniques that will reduce execution times, improve construction quality and accelerate the delivery of the homes.
The president of the Cabildo, Casimiro Curbelo, valued this announcement as “a decisive step to continue responding to one of the main concerns of citizens, which is access to housing.” In this sense, he highlighted that "the institutional cooperation between the Cabildo and the Government of the Canary Islands is allowing progress with concrete facts and real projects that will contribute to expanding the offer of protected housing on the Island."
Curbelo pointed out that “housing has become one of the great challenges of the Canary Islands” and insisted on a firm response from public administrations, with planning, investment and agility in the execution of projects. Likewise, he emphasized that "guaranteeing access to decent housing is a priority for this Council, especially to provide opportunities for young people and families in La Gomera."
The island president recalled that this action is part of a broader plan developed together with VISOCAN that will allow the incorporation of 224 new protected homes in different municipalities of La Gomera, with a global investment of 22.8 million euros financed by the Cabildo and the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands.
In addition to the planned development in Tecina, VISOCAN has put out to tender the acquisition of buildings and developments of finished or unfinished homes in La Gomera, with a budget of 1.5 million euros, with the aim of accelerating the incorporation of new protected homes to the island's public park.
Companies interested in participating in the tender for Tecina homes may submit their offers until June 14 through the Public Sector Contracting Platform.
