Independent councilors demand data on social housing

dnoticias.pt13 September 2026 at 11:20

Independent councilors Luís Filipe Santos and Jorge Afonso de Freitas are demanding that the Funchal Municipal Chamber (CMF) disclose concrete data on the inspection of municipal social housing and the re-evaluation of the economic and family conditions of the households occupying them.

The demand arises following a debate generated by these councilors' intervention at a meeting of the municipality on the inspection of social housing, which raised questions about the management of this type of municipal property.

The two independent elected officials argue that it is necessary to move from public discussion to the presentation of numbers and concrete answers from the council, suggesting that there are gaps in transparency on this matter.

The information request aims to obtain data that allows for the assessment of whether the family households occupying social housing still meet the criteria that motivated the initial assignment of these municipal houses.

Why this matters

Readers in the Funchal region are directly affected because transparency in municipal social housing management can impact those who depend on or compete for these homes. The article follows a debate generated at a council meeting, indicating that there is growing political pressure on CMF to account for the inspection of social housing.
