The plot, spanning 1,945 square meters and located at Hernán Cortés street number 2, is classified as urban residential land and is equipped with all necessary municipal services. The proposal, driven by the PSPV, received unanimous support from all political parties represented in the council: Partido Popular, Compromís, Esquerra Unida-Unides Podem, and Vox.
This initiative is supported by the framework agreement between the Generalitat Valenciana and the Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FVMP) to promote public housing on local government land, under the so-called Plan Vive. The objective is to provide housing for individuals who lost their homes due to the DANA on October 29, 2024, which severely affected some residential and industrial areas of the town, as part of the Local Recovery Project.
The council justifies the land cession in response to the growing tension in the local real estate market and the insufficient social housing stock. The ceded plot has favorable technical reports and is considered a strategic social asset.
The cession period for construction is five years. If the project is not executed within this timeframe, the cession will revert to the City Council. The homes must maintain their purpose for thirty years after construction.
The building parameters will allow for a total buildable area of up to 4,096 square meters of industrialized public housing, with a maximum of 3 floors plus an attic.
The mayor, Robert Raga, highlighted the importance of this measure given the real estate market situation and reiterated the local administration's support for those affected by the catastrophe.
