The major aim of this initiative is to fight the fall in population numbers that has been experienced in the region in the recent years.
Investing in the Alentejo Public Housing Project
This investment is just a mere portion of the plans of the Alentejo Public Housing Project Inter municipal Plan for the Promotion of Affordable Housing in Baixo Alentejo (PIPHA-BA), and it is going to cost approximately 22.5 million euros. This strategy has been taken so as to create and come up with an inter municipal affordable housing exchange whose major aim is population that is working and those who have intermediate homes. The access of affordable housing has become quite an issue in Alentejo because of the less houses in the rental market and also the prices that are charged for the houses.
