The "Homeowner Turkey" project, which President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan detailed, consists of 500 thousand social housing units and aims to contribute to solving the housing problem. Under the "Century's Housing Project," which will be implemented in 81 provinces, 1+1 and 2+1 apartments will be built to enable low-income citizens to become homeowners. For the first time in history, a "rental housing" application will also be implemented.
Within the scope of the project, 5% of the housing units are reserved for the families of martyrs and veterans, 10% for families with three or more children, 20% for retirees, and another 20% for young people aged 18-30. A total of 100 thousand new social housing units will be built in Istanbul, 30 thousand in Ankara, 21 thousand in Izmir, and 13 thousand each in Bursa, Gaziantep, and Konya, as well as 12 thousand each in Hatay and Diyarbakır.
MINISTER KURUM EXPLAINED THE FACILITIES OF THE PROJECT
Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Murat Kurum answered questions about the "Homeowner Turkey" project during a live television broadcast. Stating that "everything has been considered, from the condolence house to the family health center; from the sports hall to kindergartens," Minister Kurum shared the facilities and social amenities that the living spaces to be built will have.
500 HOUSES, 500 NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSES
The relevant part of Minister Kurum's statements is as follows: "What will the social amenities be? In this project, we prioritize the preservation of neighborhood culture and neighborly relations. Today, we are launching a project where we will build 500 neighborhood houses corresponding to 500 houses for our citizens."
There will be a mosque and a school, and every kind of social amenity our citizens need will be there. So, what will be in this neighborhood house? There will be a condolence area of about 500 square meters, which means our citizens can use it as a gathering place in good and bad times. It will be a place where they can hold engagement ceremonies and perhaps even wedding-related events.
ONE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER FOR EACH SITE
There will be 500 family health centers. This means that our citizens will go to the family health center located within their site for their first health service, and if they need to go to the hospital from there, they will do so.
DAYCARE CENTER, KINDERGARTEN, SPORTS HALL, AND HANDICRAFT PRODUCTION CENTER...
There will be a daycare center and a kindergarten where our families can leave their children while they work. Our retired citizens and housewives will be able to engage in activities at the handicraft production center. We have a sports hall. In this sports hall, all citizens will be able to do their sports with all the amenities that should be in a luxury site.
GUESTHOUSE FOR GUESTS
We have a guesthouse. What is this for? We are building 1+1 and 2+1 apartments. If the parents want to come to visit, they can make a reservation from there and host their family.
