The Winterthur SP has reached the threshold of 1,000 valid signatures with its municipal popular initiative “Housing for All”. The initiative came about, as the City Council of Winterthur announced on Monday.
The city council must now decide by August 3, 2022 whether the initiative is valid and whether a counter-proposal should be prepared.
More cooperative housing
The SP initiative calls for more affordable housing in Winterthur. For young people, families or seniors, looking for an apartment is a game of patience, she explained when she launched it.
At just under 15 percent, the proportion of cooperative rental apartments is currently low compared to other cities, the SP explains its initiative. This therefore demands that the proportion of non-profit family and retirement homes be increased to 25 percent over the next 20 years.
