The Alliance against Poverty and Housing Shortage in Tyrol is putting pressure on affordable housing with a bundle of suggestions. The demands are aimed at politicians at all levels. In any case, the current situation is a shame.
There is no solution to the absurdly expensive housing costs in Tyrol, but there are many. The alliance against poverty and housing shortage presents a package of demands consisting of 28 measures and is therefore aimed at domestic politics.
It is a shame for Tyrol that women, for example, have to stay in violent relationships because they cannot pay the rent on their own apartment, says Julia Schratz, lilawohnt-GF, who describes and emphasizes one aspect of the misery: “Action must be taken . taken now! The situation in Tyrol is dramatic.”
The city’s new housing allocation guidelines are to be welcomed; many players with expert knowledge have been brought on board. But further implementation is needed, especially at the federal and state levels. The alliance has developed 28 measures, such as:
Instead of austerity measures, budget limits must be overcome
There are already good proposals in the state government’s coalition agreement, but they are still awaiting implementation. Municipalities must also be given more responsibility for creating affordable housing.
To get started with affordable housing, you also have to overcome budget limits – cutting spending is the wrong approach, emphasize Michael Hennermann (Association for the Homeless), Wilfrid Pleger (Lebenshilfe) and Julia Schratz (lilawohnt).
