📋 Tender Overview
By 120 votes in favor and one abstention the Chamber of the Chamber of Deputies approved resolution 693 by which the President of the Republic is requested to send a bill that contemplates the construction of 20 of houses intended for older adults in all social housing complex built or ordered to build by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning. The document recalls that in our country there has been an increase in life expectancy and therefore a continuous aging of the population.It is observed that our country and society has not been adapting to this new reality and as a result it is that to a large extent the quality of life of these older adults is seriously impaired by the high costs they must face in their daily chores and a social system that is not capable of efficiently absorbing its needs and deficiencies as well as a social security system that is not capable of generating the income that these adults require to survive.Among these costs one that means a great decrease in the family budget of older adults is the cost of housing. According to ECLAC estimates by 2035 it is expected to have a population of older adults close to 19 that is we would even have more older adults than children which is why it is mandatory for our social benefits system to allocate a large part of your efforts on our older adults.Along these lines there is a need to provide social housing for this group of the population with the necessary habitability conditions in accordance with the indications and recommendations provided by the National Service for the Elderly. The proposal was raised by PR Jos Prez Marcela Hernando and Cosme Mellado independent Carlos Abel Jarpa RN Ximena Ossandn and DC Jorge Sabag.
