Eighty new, exceptional homes that will benefit more than 300 of our fellow citizens. A project that began 23 years ago but got bogged down in the wheels of Greek bureaucracy. The political will, however, was always there. In recent years, we took some decisive steps to get the project back on track very quickly, thanks to the excellent cooperation of the contractor and the exceptional diligence of the Regional Development Agency (DYPA) and the Ministry of Labor, we managed to get it back on track, complete it, and today we have already handed over the first 40 concessions to the beneficiaries.\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tomanifesto.cachefly.net\/tomanifesto\/images\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"kyrakali-1.webp\" data-dpc-media-id=\"191412\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tomanifesto.cachefly.net\/image\/large\/96\/kyrakali-1.webp\"><\/figure>\n<p><b>The Director of DYPA, Yanna Chormova, stated:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Today is a particularly significant day for DYPA, because a project that had remained unfinished for years is finally fulfilling its true purpose: the people for whom it was designed. Behind each of these homes is a family that has been waiting to have a home of their own, to feel safer, and to make a fresh start. The completion of the Kyrakali housing development reaffirms our commitment to transforming unresolved issues from the past into meaningful solutions for citizens, by implementing initiatives that address real social needs and improve the daily lives of beneficiaries. DYPA continues to consistently utilize its housing portfolio and complete housing projects that had been pending for years, thereby enhancing access to decent housing and supporting workers, families, and local communities throughout the country<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tomanifesto.cachefly.net\/tomanifesto\/images\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"kyrakali-3.webp\" data-dpc-media-id=\"191414\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tomanifesto.cachefly.net\/image\/large\/96\/kyrakali-3.webp\"><\/figure>\n<p>The start of the first beneficiaries\u2019 move-in to the settlement marks the completion of a project designed to meet the housing needs of approximately <b>300 residents of the area<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, the first<b> 40 homes are being allocated to beneficiaries<\/b> who have completed the relevant verification process, while the process continues for the remaining beneficiaries and alternates in the settlement.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tomanifesto.cachefly.net\/tomanifesto\/images\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"kyrakali-2.webp\" data-dpc-media-id=\"191413\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tomanifesto.cachefly.net\/image\/large\/96\/kyrakali-2.webp\"><\/figure>\n<p>The project<b> was put out to bid in 2003<\/b> by the former Workers\u2019 Housing Organization (OEK) and was completed by DYPA, which, as the universal successor to the Organization, methodically proceeded with its completion and handover to the beneficiaries.<\/p>\n<p>The Kyrakali housing development comprises a total of<b> 80 residences,<\/b> organized into complexes of two-story buildings, as well as shared infrastructure designed to serve the residents.
