Government has issued a tender for renovation works at social housing estates in Marsa, Mosta and Santa Lucija.
Social Accommodation Minister Roderick Galdes made the announcement on Thursday, saying around 360 families will be benefitting from the project. The project will cost €2 million.
“It would be a shame to overlook the visual impact of these buildings,” Galdes said.
The project will see the introduction of new lifts and recreational spaces for children.

Landlords of properties bound under pre-1995 leases will be able to claim up to two per cent of the property’s market value in rent, as part of a major reform announced by the Prime Minister on Saturday.
The reform will see the government absorb most of the additional rental costs thousands of families are expected to face as a result of the change, which is intended to wipe away a law that courts have repeatedly deemed to be unconstitutional.
Pensioners and social welfare beneficiaries in housing bound by pre-1995 leases will have their rental costs covered in full by the state up to a maximum of €10,000 per year, per family.
Without a shadow of a doubt, 2020 shall forever be remembered as the year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact which the coronavirus has left on our personal lives and our collective way of being cannot be understated.
In such circumstances, one may be forgiven in thinking that the government put all its efforts into combating the spread of this novel infectious disease, placing all other sectors of governance on the backburner. However, when analysing the State’s efforts towards ensuring adequate housing for all its citizens, it can be immediately discerned that the previous assumption could not be further from the truth.
