I am 368 public residential buildings under the administration of Varese: buildings and apartments that the municipality can provide to needy people at particularly low rents.
The subject of a complex management, which involves three departments (the budget department, the public works department and the social services department) were the protagonists of a joint commission which was convened on the afternoon of June 20th at the request of the Lega councilors Stefano Angei And Barbara Bison: the budget councilors answered the councillors’ questions Cristina Buzzetti and the councilor for public works Andrea Civati.
Buzzetti first of all explained the complexity of the management, which is in fact headed by different departments: “normal” rents and ordinary management are headed by the Budget, extraordinary and compliant maintenance is headed by Public Works and the assignment of housing is headed by the department to Social Services. According to Buzzetti’s explanations, a fact not to be forgotten is that, when the rent is paid, which is not a given, this does not even minimally cover the necessary maintenance work: most of the expenses are borne by the municipality. Among the data you provided, there are also the accommodations reassigned in 2017, which were 56.
Councilor Civati instead first “counted” the properties in the city, 368, then explaining which apartments are subject to extraordinary maintenance: these are 17 apartments in via Misurina, and 40 apartments in the historic area of lower Biumo such as via Frasconi , via Walder, via De Cristoforis. Furthermore, 600 thousand euros have been allocated by the Region for the redevelopment of other properties.
Numerous questions from the councilors, not all of which were satisfied: he was the one to talk about it in particular Stefano Angeiwho also recalled how these houses have become topical after two news events, Barbara Bison intervened as group leader of the League, Luca Paris and other.
Among the questions also those regarding the possibility of selling some of the apartments (The budget councilor’s response in this case was: “No, because it is not available assets, and a certain amount of public residential building is necessary”), while some clarifications on the data requested by Stefano Angei, impossible to provide at the moment, will be the subject of specific access to the documents.
