Abandoned house in Birgu regenerated for social purpose

The Minister for Social and Affordable Accommodation, Roderick Galdes, recently announced that a house in Birgu, which was previously abandoned, has been regenerated for a social purpose. The Minister revealed that this house is one of fifteen properties undergoing regeneration works to benefit society.

The abandoned house, which had been closed for several months, has been revitalized through an investment of approximately €150,000. The Housing Authority has received the property following the extensive renovation works, which included lighting and water installations and other aesthetic improvements that maintain the house’s Maltese character.

Minister Roderick Galdes emphasized that the government’s strategy for social housing extends beyond constructing new apartments. He explained that by investing in abandoned properties like this one, the government is sending a strong message that it seeks to provide shelter to individuals and families in need.

The regeneration of this house is a positive development that will benefit the community in Birgu. Through similar initiatives, the government can continue to repurpose abandoned properties for social purposes, providing essential support to vulnerable members of society.
