José Carlos Rolo highlights that “Albufeira being a municipality where a markedly seasonal economic activity predominates, in which a large part of the population works during the period from April to October and the other months live on the social unemployment benefit, means that these families have a large difficulty paying the house rent throughout the year.”
“This situation, in addition to high rent values and the lack of rental properties, brings enormous constraints in terms of the job market; there is a lack of workers in several areas, with emphasis on tourism, civil construction, education, health, among others, which led us to invest in this rental program with values lower than the average prices practiced in the rental market. private rental. In this way, we are able to support families in housing need but who do not qualify for the Supported Rental program”, concludes the mayor.
