As Glas Istre/Aleta Brattoni writes on the 15th of December, 2019, the decision to subsidise the purchase of apartments in the City of Porec in the amount of 1,900 kuna per square metre, for which 3.5 million kuna has been set aside in the budget for 2020, was unanimously supported by the city councillors at the 28th session of the Porec City Council.
Ivan Pavic of the City Property Management Department presented the Porec’s latest decision, which he says builds on a socially-encouraged housing program that was previously terminated for known reasons.
”Considering that the program of socially stimulated housing was terminated, with the aim of stimulating the demographic reconstruction of society, the urban regeneration of settlements, the reduction of the emigration of young families, and assistance to citizens in solving their housing issues, the mayor endorsed the proposal and referred it on to the City Council for consideration and for a decision on it to be made,” Pavić said.
It was presented so that the purchase subsidy will be granted to citizens who have valid residence in the City of Porec who, in addition to the requested subsidy amount, provide the remaining funds for the purchase of the apartment themselves.
The approval of a purchase subsidy request will be made on the basis of a priority order list. That list is determined on based on the following criteria: housing conditions, housing status, the applicant’s residence time in the city, the number of members of a shared household, age, if there are any pre-school and school-age children, if there are any disabilities or health impairments of either the applicant or a member of their joint household, participation in the Homeland War, whether or not they hold the status of a disabled war veteran from the Homeland War, and whether or not they hold the status of a family member of a killed, detained or missing Croatian war veteran.
It’s worth mentioning that the City of Poreč has further plans, and the sale of land for a mere one kuna is planned for some time in the future.
”At the end of next year, a decision should be made at the City Council level to change the spatial plan. It is with this spatial plan that we’ll determine the exact position, location, and define how many square metres will be allocated, and thus continue with this new program,” stated Loris Peršurić.
