61.000 housing units ready for distribution, 137.000 ready ''on paper''
An inter-ministerial instruction, issued by the Ministries of Interior and Local groups and housing and construction, under the number 007 dated in the current April 8, was addressed to all the governors of the Republic, concerning the distribution of the public rental residences in application of the instruction No. 170, issued by the Prime Minister, Abdelmalek Sellal, on 20 January 2013, revealed that the number of housing units that already ended and prepared for distribution directly tocitizens at the national level are 61.811 units of the total 198.317 units which government says they are ready for distribution.
The instruction, which is available to Echorouk, added that 76.471 housing units need to complete configurations, meaning that they need to “more time” to put them at the disposal of the beneficiaries, without specifying the time needed to finish the work of setting.
Same instruction revealed that the works configuration did not start for the 21.790 residential units, and therefore the distribution to the owners will not start before the end of the second semester, because of the deadlines for creating sites for houses, unlike the residential units that were completed and are waiting for the end of the work of setting.
”The percentage of completion of 38.245 units did not exceed 60 percent, with the need to contact the regional committees in order to initiate the preparation of lists of beneficiaries of these units when completed, and ask governors to preparedocuments for the future benefits of these units as soon as the works end, with the need to catch up a model for pre-allocation of the decision”.
An instruction signed by the Prime Minister, on 20 January, shows that the stock of rental public housing that are ready to be exploited by the beneficiaries did not exceed 49.390 units, as the instruction indicated the imbalance in the geographical distribution of these units, as 14 wilayas have a stock which is less than 500 units, while nine wilayas at the national level have no stocks, meaning that they have no accommodation for the distribution in these wilayas.
