Municipal Properties on Islands to Be Used for Housing Public Sector Employees.
The Minister of the Interior, Theodoros Livanios, has responded positively to a proposal by Dodecanese MP Manos Konsolas regarding the use of municipal properties on islands to house doctors, teachers, and other public sector employees. As part of the new Local Government Code, a provision is being considered to formally allow this use, especially in remote or sensitive areas.
Mr. Konsolas has presented a comprehensive plan to tackle the housing crisis in island regions. His proposals include needs assessments, tax incentives, renovation funding for old buildings, student housing construction, and offering interest-free loans or housing subsidies for young families living on or moving to small Aegean islands.
