TREVISO – Another eviction in Treviso. An elderly couple was evicted from an apartment on Thursday morning, June 13th Corder in the Santa Bona neighborhood. Activists from the Django social center intervened on site and then protested in front of the headquarters of the Social Services department.
Mayor Mario Conte intervened on the case: “The situation on the housing front is becoming explosive and the The Municipality cannot also manage the emergency of evictions due to non-payment, carried out without notice, from private rentals”. “The municipalities are left alone and without resources to face an issue that concerns fragility and poverty. Social services, which must work to help, accompany and introduce people into a recovery process, instead find themselves forced to look for solutions between accommodation and B&Bs for those who find themselves homeless at any moment. Nowadays we only work in emergencies, with all the consequences that this entails. When people are in difficulty, they knock on the doors of the town hall.”
“We need a new national housing policy – adds Conte – People end up on the streets and we cannot afford to pay any more rooms or sanction fees to Ater. It’s time to sit around a table and talk about it all together, considering among other things that at the moment the real estate market is also in a stalemate phase. We risk having a social bomb explode in our hands.”
