25,000 public housing in Brussels 3600 days (number 8). September 2010. New methods of calculation: 25,000 or 10,000 homes? 
The Brussels regional government agreements in the summer of 2009 seemed ambitious. They provide, by 2019, a dramatic increase in the number of dwellings public by a standard to be achieved within 10 years 15% of quality housing management service and social purpose . It appears as an extremely proactive as tens of thousands of people waiting impatiently in a city where he can live where housing is provided, but where the housing gobbles up the majority of the budget of the poor.
At the current rate, as calculated previously selected, it will take extremely long to realize the goal of creating ten-year housing.
However, recently (Le Soir, Wednesday, September 22, 2010), the Secretary of State responsible for housing, Christos Doulkeridis, notified about this. He believes it should be counted among the public housing, rental accommodation by social housing agencies (ISA) at a price lower than the market and homes purchased through the 900 mortgage loans each year to advantageous rates by the Housing Fund.
In light of this new calculation, the objective of creating public housing then drops sharply at around 10 to 15,000 homes in 10 years. Indeed, with this new calculation, there are now 12.84% of housing in Brussels rather than 10.80%. One Giant Leap, stroke of a pen, towards the target of 15%.
The next bimonthly letter will attempt to clarify the various new elements. But in the meantime, according to evidence brought with this new calculation, the objective appears to be achieved or exceeded without the need to build, renovate or convert!
This letter bimonthly aims to be a spur to help achieve even partial goals as described previously. The summary of results below shows the progress over the goal again, very modest, and is "progress" compared to the old and ambitious goal.
