Agreements Brussels regional government in the summer of 2009 are ambitious. They provide, by 2019, a dramatic increase in the number of public housing by a standard to achieve in the next 10 years 15% of quality housing management service and social purposes . Specifically, that standard is reached, at least 25,000 public housing must be created in two legislatures, or more than 200 units per month. In fact, given the increased population of Brussels, the number of units to be created will be even higher.
This is an extremely proactive as tens of thousands of people waiting impatiently in a city where he can live where housing is not a problem, but where the housing gobbles the majority of the budget of the poor. Five months
after the regional elections and three months after the creation of the new government, it is still too early to measure in detail the progress of the new agreement but the early evidence does not encourage optimism.
Indeed, the new objective no longer concerns only the construction of dwellings ab nihilo, but also the transformation of offices and property abandoned housing and the continued construction has already begun. And agreements concerning constructions and transformations the short, medium and long term , that is to say, Logically, long term of 10 years, with a few short years and a few months.
So far, nothing concrete has been announced if it is abandoning a project of the previous Parliament (the draft "Parish") and revision of other projects.
