The housing construction in the MaisI municipality is currently showing a moment of effervescence, corroborated by the 30 houses completed so far this year.
That number, although far from the accumulated needs, exceeds the number of houses finished in the same period last years, and corroborates the will and actions of the Communist Party of Cuba, the Government and the construction agencies to advance in the solution of the 1,500 families who lost their homes due to the passage of Hurricane Matthew.
Most of the buildings are the so-called mixed or combined type, which are made of brick (or block, depending on the availability of the resource), wood, polished floor and light roof, which consist of a doorway, living room, two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and service yard. Others have a complete wooden structure, explained Urtate Romero, the highest representative of the Municipal Housing Directorate.
The housing construction program in Maisí, the easternmost of Cuba’s municipalities, foresees the completion of 228 houses this year, of which 116 correspond to the state program, 86 to the subsidy program and 26 are self-built. These figures show that the effort must be multiplied to meet the desired goal.
