Madeira government hands over 15 PRR-funded homes in Funchal's Cedros IV building

Madeira's regional government president, Miguel Albuquerque, attended the handover of 15 apartments in the Cedros IV building on Rua da Quinta dos Cedros, Funchal. The €3.5 million project was funded through the PRR, Portugal's recovery plan. Albuquerque said the families had been living in serious precariousness and now have fully habitable homes. He promised more affordable-rent, rent-to-buy and cooperative schemes. He also announced a road link of about €3 million connecting Quinta dos Cedros to Levada do Cavalo, which would ease traffic and allow public transport. The tender is due shortly, with works expected to start early next year.
