MADRID, Spain.- The housing plan of the Cuban regime foreseen in the province of Ciego de Ávila for 2022 was 54.5 percent below the forecast, for a total of only 946 finished houses.
As reported by the local media The invader In an article titled “Sequence of breaches in the construction of homes in Ciego de Ávila”, this situation reflects a “sequence of non-compliances that dates back to 2021, when this province barely built 560 houses and was at 35.2 percent of its plans.”
In 2022, almost no new homes were started, “we dedicated ourselves to finishing those started with the little that was coming in,” the official media also points out.
At the end of 2021, 700 homes were being completed, so if by the end of 2022 946 had been completed, certainly little was raised from scratch and the most worrying thing is that “we are once again critical in the sequence, even when it speaks of some 1,400 homes in the 2023 plan,” said the deputy technical director of the Provincial Housing Directorate (DPV), Ernesto Herrera Pérez.
The disparities, by municipalities, also denote other realities. In Morón, for example, 41 percent of the state houses in the territory were built; while the subsidies had their maximum expression in Chambas with only 39 dwellings. The own effort, however, showed a greater presence in the main city, where 31 percent was executed, adds the information.
In this province there are still 900 homeless families due to the effects of Hurricane Irma in 2017, more than five years ago.
“The greatest debt continues to be with the total collapses left by that hurricane,” said the manager.
The housing authorities acknowledged that with so many delays in the construction sequence “future plans seem more unlikely.”
