Groen Brugge: “great need for affordable housing, social housing is not being renovated”

They complain that these social housing units are not being renovated, and that Mintus is selling the land to the private market. Groen will vote against the sale at the city council.

2.2 million euros has meanwhile been offered for these 23 senior housing. Most are in such a bad state that they are no longer inhabited. Groen complains that the OCMW has not renovated the homes, while there is a great need for affordable homes.

“The city encourages private landlords to renovate sustainably, but they themselves do not set a good example, with things such as the sale of this site or postponing renovations of social housing,” says Katrien Cattoor of Groen.
