AADL 2 Housing Program: 160,000 files turned down

The ministerial appeals’ commission set up at the level of the housing and town planning ministry in Algiers received a total of 2,831 appeals up to December 31st 2013 from 160,000 rejected files sent by housing-seeking citizens are part of the recently-launched AADL 2 housing program meant for middle-income earners.

Sources close to the relevant commission told Echorouk that scores of the appeals lodged had been examined but were rejected as null and void as the subscribers either possessed already an apartment or failed to live up to some basic criteria and conditions required for the proper registration on the future recipients’ list.

The housing and town planning Minister Abdelmadjid Tebboune said recently that the special ministerial commission had received a total of 700,000 housing application forms for the AADL 2 program with over 400,000 of them having already received a reply and saw their files either endorsed or turned down.

Mr Tebboune further assured that all the subscribers to the newly-devised AADL 2 housing program would receive a formal reply before the end of January 2014.

The minister also pointed out that the state had pledged to file legal proceedings against those construction enterprises which wouldn’t abide strictly by the new housing achievement deadlines
