From 1 January 2025, the “Minha Casa II” programme will be activated, while by the end of 2024, through the “Minha Casa I” programme, 9,155 couples or single citizens will have found a home”, said the Minister of Health, Social Cohesion and Family, Sofia Sugar.
As the minister said, speaking to SKAI radio, with the activation of the “My Home II” programme, young people aged 50 will also find accommodation, “after we have extended the age criterion and increased the income criterion” while “for the first time we have a total housing strategy that will be updated in 2025 to reach 2 billion euros in “My Home II”.
Furthermore, what is “important”, as the minister said, “it is also the increase in the housing contract, up to 250 thousand euros, in which case the loan will reach 190 thousand”.
National Demographic Plan
Referring to the National Demographic Plan, Sofia Zaharaki, highlighted that “we had opened the platform to register citizens’ proposals for demography”.
“The demographic is the nursery. The state takes care of those who cannot get vouchers and this year we have given 380 million euros of European and national resources. The demographic is the good full-time school. The demographic is to have better local development that keeps women in a healthy economic activity. The demographic is the way forward. The demographic is to live in cities that love disability,” he noted.
Remuneration Policy
Analyzing the government’s bonus policy, the minister reiterated that “In the reform we will carry out, we will not take into account part of the income so that the allowance is not a disincentive to work..
We have been working for 7 months on the benefits reform”, which, according to YKOISO’s objectives, will advance along 4 axes:
- additional financing
- more modern approaches, taking into account international best practices,
- rationalization of planning that reflects social and economic realities,
- more equitable distribution of resources.
