In this regard, she stressed the importance that the Regional Government attaches to support programme for the recovery of degraded housing.
 
"This is a support measure that has been channelling several resources over the last years as we believe that it is important for people to stay in their area of residence, where they have family ties," said the Regional Secretary.
