The Plenary approves the change of use of a plot of land so that Aprona can build a housing building for people with disabilities.

The plenary has given the green light to the change of land qualification, annexed to the current occupational center of the group, to undertake this ambitious project.

The new residence will have places for both severely affected and independent living people.

The Estepona City Council has approved today in plenary session the change of qualification, from sports to health care use, of a plot of land given to the Foundation for People with Functional Diversity of Estepona (Aprona) so that the group can build a residential building type residence for people with disabilities. The land, 480 square meters, is attached to the current facilities of the association.

Aprona has proposed a pioneering project proposing a new way of living where the user can develop and explore all their capabilities. The plot ceded by the City Council is attached to the current occupational center of this group where they also have a day unit, a special education center and an adult residence. With the new project, they will add to the services they already offer to people with disabilities and their families a Residence for the Seriously Affected (RGA), as well as Independent Living Housing (VVI).

The project contemplates the construction of a two-story building as a base, taking advantage of the great unevenness of the terrain, which will contain the module for the residence for the severely affected. Above this module will be a landscaped plaza in which a three-story building will be erected for independent living housing.

The Consistory has carried out the relevant procedures for the authorization of the change of qualification of this land according to the General Urban Development Plan (PGOU), based on the general interest of the project proposed by the association.

The Estepona City Council approved in April 2019 in Plenary a municipal proposal for the declaration of municipal public interest of the Association for the Mentally Disabled of Estepona (Aprona), which allowed the transfer of municipal land for the development of its projects of general interest.

The Aprona Association was founded in 1975 by a group of mothers and fathers concerned about the uncertain future of their children with disabilities. Since then it has continuously developed activities in the municipality aimed at providing people with cognitive functional diversity who require it and other groups in need of help, the necessary support for the development of their life projects and promoting the improvement of their quality of life.

The collaboration of the City Council of Estepona with this group is close. It should be recalled that in recent years, the Consistory has signed several agreements that allow Aprona the management of public parking lots included in the parking network at a cost of 1 euro. Thanks to these agreements, the hiring and inclusion in the labor market of many people with disabilities has been favored.
