While presiding, today afternoon, at the ceremony of delivery of 14 new houses in the town of Rabo de Peixe - in a process of re-accommodation of people who were living in the sea front of that town - the president of the Government of the Azores said that there was being lived the moment of the resolution of a problem, but, in simultaneous, the instant in which also it was begun solving many other problems.

These problems, which Carlos César described as challenges of the societies of today, “are those of educating, in a proper environment, our children, those of providing quiet conditions of familiarity in the heart of the family and at a home with conditions and with comfort, those of accommodating appropriately our elderly, those of having new challenges of responsibility in the management of our houses and of the budget of our families”.

Remembering that the 14 new dwellings add up to other 160 also fully paid by the Regional Government in the council of Ribeira Grande, he anticipated that the executive is helping the respective Town Hall in the construction of houses or in re-accommodations that include 360 families.

“This gives idea of the great change, of the great transformation for better that we are doing in the council of Ribeira Grande, as we are doing, besides, throughout the whole Azores. In these last ten years, we solved the problem of dwelling to more than 15 thousand families and helped thousands of other families recovering houses that were degraded”, affirmed the president of the Government, soon to add to dispose of data that state the general improvement of life of the people included by these supports.

And, in the continuation of this effort, the Government is going, for example even there, in Rabo de Peixe, to support the local Cooperative in the construction of 62 dwellings addressed at people with medium resources, “which shows up that in the population there is an every time bigger energy, a social change in the positive sense, in the way of the initiative, in the way of the increase of the available income for the dwelling”, as he affirmed.

Showing the satisfaction that he was feeling for the day of joy that was lived, yesterday, in Rua das Courelas, in Rabo de Peixe, Carlos César affirmed that it was also “a day in which all the other families spread out by the Azores see in this example, in this continuity of effort of the Government, the justified hope of arriving the time of each one and of solving more problems that there are, not only in Rabo de Peixe, as in other places of all the islands of the Azores”.

The 14 houses handed today represent a government investment of more than a million and three hundred thousand euros - in charge of the Regional Secretariat for Housing and Infrastructures – and they all have three bedrooms and will include a total of 61 people.
