IN BRIEF |
|
In the territorial dynamic of Cap Excellence, covering the municipalities of Les Abymes, Baie-Mahault and Pointe-à-Pitre, the audacious objective is to achieve a rate of fully occupied accommodation, leaving behind more than 8,000 vacant spaces. This initiative, thanks to the “Zero vacant housing” project, is committed to transforming unused spaces into real homes, through restoration and security programs for owners. At the same time, it aims to support economic development by strengthening the infrastructure and attractiveness of the region, while seeking to effectively accommodate the public service workers.
The Cap Excellence territory stands out for its commitment to urban revitalization and optimization of the use of available housing. With more than 8,000 vacant homes in the municipalities of Abymes, Baie-Mahault and Pointe-à-Pitre, the “Zero vacant housing” operation presents itself as a bold solution. By raising awareness among owners, setting up an infrastructure geographic data and strengthening the real estate portfolio, Cap Excellence strives to transform this challenge into an opportunity for sustainable development.
An innovative operation to meet an urgent need
Cap Excellence, the urban community bringing together Abymes, Baie-Mahault and Pointe-à-Pitre, has launched a major initiative to combat the growing phenomenon of vacant housing. The project, named “Zero vacant accommodation”, targets the thousands of unoccupied homes in the region. Indeed, rental vacancy does not only concern owners, but also represents a loss of resources and an obstacle to community development.
A strategy focused on renovation and security
The “Zero vacant housing” system encourages owners to renovate and to secure their accommodation. Indeed, giving a second life to these properties promotes increased comfort and strengthens the feeling of security in the neighborhoods concerned. Through help and advice, Cap Excellence highlights the importance of each property in the general improvement of the living environment in its territory. Its campaign also helps to economically boost the region by attracting new residents or investors.
Technological support thanks to GIS
To achieve these objectives, Cap Excellence relies on the Geographic Information System (GIS). By developing a geographic data infrastructure, the community hopes not only centralize all information concerning the real estate stock, but also improve the management of reconversions and new territorial developments. This approach allows a more targeted approach, increasing the effectiveness of interventions.
An integrated policy for the housing of public officials
At the heart of Cap Excellence’s initiatives is also the commitment to housing for public service workers. This project takes into account the need to ensure decent living conditions for essential workers, while aiming for a residential balance to maintain and strengthen the attractiveness of municipalities for these professionals. By integrating these concerns, Cap Excellence is working to make up for the gap in housing assistance dedicated to this population.
Towards a sustainable and inclusive future
The fight against vacant housing is only part of the broad program of territorial development set up by Cap Excellence. This strategic project, which emphasizes sustainable growth, includes efforts to build an efficient and dynamic real estate network in order to perpetuate the attractiveness of the region for years to come.
In short, through its ambition and vision, Cap Excellence wishes to make its territory a model of proactive and resilient urban management, thus strengthening community identity and solidarity.
