Works on the Qrendi social housing project at an advanced stage

In Qrendi, Minister for Social and Affordable Accommodation Roderick Galdes visited the social housing project site, which is nearing completion and preparing to welcome its first residents in the coming months.

During the visit, Minister Roderick Galdes explained that this project is being carried out with a total investment of €3.5 million. “Within the next few months, this initiative will provide social housing for 26 families, and the project also includes 20 garages. This project forms part of the largest social housing investment ever undertaken in Malta and Gozo”, stated Minister Galdes.

The minister elaborated on how the government’s social justice policy in the housing sector has led to a significant reduction in the social housing waiting list over the past decade, from approximately 3,300 to around 1,500 applicants. “The government is committed to continuing to provide hope and stability in the housing sector”, Minister Roderick Galdes concluded.
