In a momentous event, Minister for Social and Affordable Accommodation Roderick Galdes inaugurated a new social housing project in Żurrieq. The €3.5 million initiative, named after former Prime Minister Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici, aims to provide 27 families with the opportunity to start anew under a decent and dignified roof.

During the inauguration ceremony, Minister Galdes highlighted the significance of this project, which is part of the ongoing investment in social housing. He underlined that the government’s objective, in collaboration with the Housing Authority, goes beyond mere construction; it is about ensuring that these housing units are allocated to those who are genuinely in need, providing them with the means to enhance their quality of life.

“This project in Żurrieq, comprising 20 garages, is a tangible manifestation of our dedication to social justice,” Minister Galdes affirmed. He stressed that the government’s focus is not solely on erecting new social housing buildings but on distributing them to individuals and families who require support to lead a life of quality and dignity.

The families set to benefit from this social housing initiative have successfully undergone a meticulous application process and verifications. The allocation strategy, launched in 2021, serves as a guiding framework to ensure fairness and transparency in the selection process.

In attendance at the inauguration was Permanent Secretary Emanuel Psaila, emphasising the collaborative effort between government officials and civil servants to make this housing project a reality.
