The Minister of Family and Social Cohesion, Domna Michailidou, presented the stegasi.gov portal to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Tuesday morning, which, as she explained, “anyone can go in and find all the information about housing programs, the reliefs and reforms we have made.”

She said this is a total of 43 policies, with “the government giving 6.5 billion to a range of policies to make it easier to increase the supply of property in the market. To make it easier for the potential owner and potential tenant to find a more affordable home.”

Explaining the capabilities of the platform, Ms. Michaelidou said that “you can personalise your search based on your age, where you live, your work status, your income to see which scheme is for you.”

“There is a search engine that in less than 1 minute gives you which programs are right for you, what you save and which link to click on,” Ms. Michaelidou added.

A monthly report on the implementation of programmes will also be made public on the same platform.

Domna Michailidou also said that “our next move is social counterpart”, the bill for which was revealed by THEMA on Sunday.

“The state is finally making use of its stagnant property,” Ms Michaelidou said, as the Greek State will dispose of properties – either for the construction of new modern buildings or for the reconstruction of existing ones – on the express condition that at least 30% of the housing produced will be made available as social housing to citizens with social and economic criteria.

According to the Minister of Family and Social Cohesion, the bill will be passed “before the summer closes and we hope to start with the emblematic building of CHROPEY by the end of the summer.”
