Incentives and tax credits for rent and housing costs include, among others, a proposal developed by PASOK-KINAL for social housing. With its proposal, PASOK believes it is a solution to the high cost of housing for young people, students and families in low-cost housing.

In a statement, he notes that “According to ELSTAT’s recent inflation announcement, housing prices have risen by 32.5% during the year, student housing rental prices have risen by 22%, while the available student housing stock has decreased. significantly, up 25% compared to last year, especially in popular tourist cities. The small and middle social strata and the new generation undoubtedly suffered especially hard.

Party chairman Nikos Androulakis presented a range of immediate and long-term measures, drawing on the experience of other European countries such as Portugal. In particular, he proposed through the Recovery Fund to build thousands of houses that will be available at low rents for young people and families, as this will gradually create a state reserve of social housing.

Provided with incentives such as tax credits, as well as funding for repairs and power upgrades, owners of vacant homes will be encouraged and committed to providing them for long-term rentals at affordable prices.

For the acute problem of student housing, the construction of new student dormitories is proposed.

The emergency package includes:

– Expansion of the rental subsidy with social criteria

-Additional allowance for each student studying in the city of the main tourist destination

-Recovery of the tax deduction for rent for children who study away from home.

As highlighted, the PASOK-Movement for Social Housing Change program was posted on the party’s digital platform. There you can make suggestions for solving local problems, as well as new ideas on this issue.
