Toni Pérez indicated that "according to what we have received from the Regional Ministry's Housing Department, the intention is for construction of the housing block to begin as soon as possible."
Finally, the mayor noted that "this development is the first to be launched in the city in nearly 20 years, which confirms that, fortunately, at the regional level, there has been a change in housing policy after two terms of inaction." "It was a PP government in the Generalitat," he noted, "that built a block of rental housing for young people and another for seniors in La Cala, which were delivered in 2009, and it is once again a government from the same party that is promoting 117 public housing units in our city."
