Bragahabit will have 800 thousand euros in 2021 for the RADA – Direct Lease Support Scheme that will benefit 750 families with support for the payment of housing rents: “this system started in the management of the PS with 281 thousand euros in 2013, but the The municipality has been increasing the amount delivered to BragaHabit ”, Mayor Ricardo Río told O MINHO.
The mayor said that, “this reinforcement, from 600 to 800 thousand, will coincide with the reform of the RADA regulations, allowing the support to be permanent for families in which the entire household is older than 65 years or whose income depends solely on retirement due to age or disability ”.
Until now, aid has been progressively decreasing over the next five years, in order to avoid the so-called dependency allowance: “there are families whose income, due to retirement or disability, is not going to increase, which justifies us giving you support permanent “, he stressed.
RADA is interim support, lasting up to 5 years, with a reduction in the grant amount for each renewal.
Work completed in Bairro das Enguardas
Work done. The municipal company Bragahabit concluded, at the end of December, the requalification of the social district of Enguardas, with an investment of 1.1 million euros.
The executive administrator, Vítor Esperança revealed to O MINHO that the contract involved four buildings and “included the remodeling of the exteriors, painting of facades, replacement of window frames and ceilings; remodeling of stairwells, electrical installations, painting, handrails and wood; replacement of toilets, kitchens; floor and wall coverings; electrical infrastructure; and water supply and sanitation; and revision and repair of the interior spaces in all departments ”.
Despite this intervention – he stressed – the neighborhood is not completely rehabilitated, given that 60 percent of the apartments are privately owned and some buildings, very degraded, belong to the Institute of Social Security Management: “we are studying the possibility of help owners, with fewer possessions, to do some works ”.
The completion of the work allows the transfer to Enguardas of two families living in the Picoto neighborhood, which is in an advanced state of degradation.
