These projects are part of a global investment exceeding 53 million euros in Fuerteventura for housing construction and rehabilitation, financed by European NextGeneration funds and with the collaboration of the Government of the Canary Islands and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda.
The president of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, Lola García, highlighted the inter-administrative coordination to execute this investment, aimed at improving housing quality and access. More than 19 million euros are focused on rehabilitating residential areas, including actions in Puerto del Rosario and Tuineje, with the goal of ensuring dignified housing and renovating the existing stock.
García emphasized the Cabildo's commitment to recovering abandoned homes and unfinished constructions, promoting the optimization of available land over urban expansion. The mayor of La Oliva, Isaí Blanco, noted the progress in rehabilitating the 507 homes, aiming to enhance the quality of life for the residents.
The director of the Canarian Housing Institute, Pino de León, stated that the Government of the Canary Islands is moving from words to actions with the construction of new public housing and the rehabilitation of existing residential stock. In Corralejo, 77 public housing units are already underway, along with three rehabilitation projects, to which the planned one in El Cotillo is added.
These interventions, managed by the Canarian Housing Institute, focus on improving energy efficiency and will directly benefit over 500 families, while also expanding the public housing supply to meet existing demand. This strategy is being developed across all islands, with more than 4,000 homes in progress.
The Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, highlighted these actions as an example of collaboration between administrations to address citizens' housing needs, reiterating the Government's commitment to increasing housing supply and facilitating access to this right.
