Information

Multi-family homes. Government Promotion of Economic Housing (FFH / Operation SAAL). A large complex consisting of multi-family homes of two to four floors that form open blocks. Including public public facility (soccer field/playground)

This program sought to define an action policy for Housing, aimed at the most needy populations, but with the capacity for self-organization, granting the State help in the implementation of new relocation neighborhoods, infrastructures, technical support and financing; the Local Ambulatory Support Service (SAAL) presupposed either the assessment of potential locations for 'self-construction' operations and the possibility of a credit system granted by the FFH to groups of residents or cooperatives.

The preparation of technical personnel to manage the local, unemployed, or volunteer labor, to form Construction, Sanitation and Urbanization Brigades.

After the II Provisional Government took office, the architect Nuno Teotónio Pereira develops the 'Interpretive Study of the Objectives to Pursue through the SAAL', in which it is established that the support given by the FFH, extended to the entire national territory, excluded the areas of the Integrated Plans, under its responsibility (Monte da Caparica, Zambujal, Setúbal, Aveiro, Matosinhos, Guimarães).

It's always a shame that so many balconies have been 'closed', resulting in a large part of the visual 'spaciousness' being lost.
