The Territorial Delegation for Development and Housing of the Junta of Andalusia This Friday, he took stock of the progress of the procedures of the energy efficiency improvement plan in all blocks of Figueroa Park, at the very moment when it had to be extended from October 15 to 30, as argued ABC, so that more requests can be processed by part of each of the communities of owners in the neighborhood, who are the promoters of this aid and who to execute the request must create a complex procedure with verification of each apartment owner by qualified majority.
The data is not very encouraging. As explained Carmen Granadosthe branch delegate, the two phases in progress at the moment occupy 72 blocks (36 per phase). To date, only a dozen buildings have been treated and meet all the requirements (240 housing units out of nearly 1,500 across the entire territory), which would be equivalent to a third of the first phase.
Granados highlighted during an appearance with the president of Vimcorsa, Miguel Angel Torricothat “we wanted them to have more time because of the complexity of the process; Part of the deadline passed during the summer period, which affected this process.
Economy
It should be remembered that the objective of these subsidies (which exceed 5 million euros in each of the phases coming from European funds) is the rehabilitation of buildings, energy savings of around 30% and 50% savings thanks to the improvement of facades, roofs and the replacement of the carpentry of the blocks concerned.
Two helplines are activated; the first for buildings, the second for people vulnerableand whose application period is open from October 16 to mid-December.
To these European funds processed by the Andalusian government is added what each owner must contribute, which has been estimated at around 4,600 euros and it is there – and also in the non-resource part – that the aid of Vimcorsa comes in. , which, as Torrico explained, went from compromise 500,000 euros for each phase to 1.1 million in each stage.
There would still be a third phase to complete all the buildings designed more than fifty years ago by Rafael De-La Hoz, José Chastang and Gerard Olivares.
The request is complex: a qualified majority in each block to meet it as well as justify the planned energy savings
Miguel Ángel Torrico insisted that Vimcorsa will maintain its financial support regardless of the number of communities that opt for aid: if the number does not reach the expected one – it is not easy to obtain a nuanced agreement of each portal – there will be a greater number for those yes, they choose and adapt to the requirementssaid the president of the municipal corporation. For the most vulnerable people (degree of disability, age, income, etc.) no additional costs will be incurred.
Agility in processing is going to be essential. Granados and Torrico encouraged residents to present the documentation and they recalled that both the Junta de Andalucía and Vimcorsa provide technical and legal support to the owners of housing and buildings who are the promoters of this aid – the administrations cannot present it.
The El Parque Neighborhood Association is the catalyst for the process that began in 2015, although these aid programs and their treatment have sparked some controversy with the birth of another neighborhood group that disagrees with the way they are conducted. We had to wait until 2021 for the current Residential Helpline to be activated. Rehabilitation Programmed where these aids have been installed.
The total of the three planned phases should reach almost 2,150 housing units, the figures given yesterday by the Junta de Andalucía therefore represent 12%.
