In the presence of Mayor Graziano Milia and representatives of the Social Policy Department, a meeting with tenants' and owners' unions (Sunia, Apci Federproprietà, Confedilizia, Unioncasa, Asppi) took place this morning at the former Capuchin Convent. The meeting is expected to conclude and sign, among the various associations, a new territorial agreement on subsidized housing rentals for the city of Quartu Sant'Elena, scheduled for January 2027.

The Municipal Administration, which is following the growing housing crisis with particular interest and concern, has confirmed its intention to support the work of the trade unions through targeted dissemination actions regarding the New Territorial Agreement, which will be signed shortly .

The associations' goal, widely shared by the mayor, is to reverse the current trend of allocating vacant properties to short-term rentals for the tourist market, aiming instead to incentivize long-term rentals, finally offering concrete hope to the city's many families unable to access the rental market due to the growing unavailability of properties. Given these considerations, rent-controlled rentals are undoubtedly an interesting option .

"Convening this meeting is important to discuss together the housing emergency, which isn't just affecting our city or our island but is a widespread phenomenon," said Mayor Graziano Milia. " For its part, the municipal administration intends to continue investing in services, starting with roads and sidewalks . We will also be at the forefront of promoting the new agreement, not only through thematic channels but also with targeted events and advertising materials."

This morning's meeting thus laid the groundwork for a subsequent meeting, scheduled for January . Following the signing, dissemination activities for the new territorial agreement can proceed, including targeted meetings with residents and the production of an explanatory brochure. These activities will be carried out in close collaboration with the signatory trade unions.
