After signing of the agreement by Mon Perin Foundation and
Bale-Valle Municipal Council in September, today saw official
confirmation of the methods for cooperation between the first 5 families
involved in the project, the Mon Perin Foundation, Bale-Valle Municipal Council and the IF Projekt
construction company. This agreement responds to the need to facilitate
access by young families to the capital necessary for building their
homes on land granted by the Bale-Valle Municipal council at the
symbolic price of 1 kuna.
After the initial difficulties
encountered by these young families, who saw their loan applications
turned down, the Mon Perin Foundation stepped in as guarantor. An
agreement reached with the bank in question will mean that the Mon Perin
Foundation will cover—for the first three years—50% of the interest due
on the loans, meaning the family only pays back the initial capital
borrowed.
In addition, in agreement with the IF Projekt
construction company, the Mon Perin Foundation will provide further
support for these young families, by acting as guarantor for selection
of the best suppliers and supervising construction of the homes and the
project as a whole.
