Increased repair fund for housing

The Urban Renewal Committee has agreed to increase the repair fund for the city’s low-rise housing facilities, especially those which are over 30 years old. “The idea is to put more funds into repairing low-rise housing in the city as well as to conduct a housing check effectively,” Secretary for Transport and Public Works and Chairman of the Committee, Raimundo Arrais do Rosário said after the meeting. The Committee agreed that the old low-rise housing blocks are those most in need of repair in the city.
