Basic Union Association – Tenants and Inhabitants Association: Pisa: mayor and councilor for the house promise, but the emergency and the evictions Unione
On Tuesday 18 October, the garrison started by ASIA USB and UNION TENANTS obtained the suspension of the city council for a meeting at the house with one of our delegations on the issue of housing emergency.
At the meeting were present: the Mayor Conti, the councilor for social Poli and the group leader councilors
During the meeting we denounced the serious condition in which families of families under eviction are found in a city that has the sad national record of forced execution requests, with an increase of 604.30% and 553.85% of evictions carried out. with public force.
The situation is now explosive and the knots are coming to a head.
The emergency ranking sees more than 100 questions while the accommodations assigned to date are only 4 inhabited. We asked, once again, that the Municipality pays sufficient resources to Apes to renovate the more than 170 empty and unused apartments as soon as possible, making them immediately usable for families in need. In the medium term, the Municipality needs to increase the supply of housing by renovating the many abandoned public buildings.
These are some of our requests.
We have obtained answers and promises from the Mayor and Councilor, all to be verified: on November 8th there will be an open municipal council on the housing emergency with the representatives of the tenants and owners; 50 social housing units must be made available by January for the housing emergency. In light of this small opening, we asked the Mayor to speak with the Prefect for one of the evictions. The “home agency” project will be relaunched to increase the number of homes available to the needy. Finally, after our complaints about the poor service of the Health Society, we have snatched the commitment on a direct intervention by the Municipality so that the service becomes more efficient, also through new permanent hires, in order to guarantee the presence of social workers also during evictions.
On October 19, thanks to the presence of a strong ASIA USB picket, an eviction with the intervention of the public force in Via Piave was postponed for only a few weeks (November 14), without the Judicial Officer accepting the request for a postponement per year new, when the 50 houses should be made available by the Municipality and Apes.
The appointment is on November 8 for the open city council and November 14 in Via Piave,
when we go back to picketing to prevent eviction. The home is an inalienable human right.
In the weeks we will fight so that bland promises of the administrators to the clubs follow the facts. The solution to the housing tragedy remains the same: divert the immense resources burned into arms and business support towards a real housing policy!
