“One has to sleep in the kitchen!” The family is unpleasantly surprised service apartments for people in wheelchairs – Real Estate – House

The July family has been granted a two-room apartment in the new service apartment house at 43 Mežrozīšu Street, in Bolderāja – 34.7 square meters. It turns out that the two-room apartment mentioned in the letter is actually two rooms. One of them also has a kitchen.

“Our current apartment is bigger than this, and this is given to us as bigger. We still have a child! He needs his own room. Daughter’s own! But it is written – two-room! ” tells Julia’s mother and caregiver Lidija Dashkova.

According to the Apeirons association, each person in a wheelchair should live in twice the area.

“You can’t just automatically give 19 square meters to a person in a wheelchair, dress him up and bake meatballs while lying in bed,” emphasizes the leader of the association Ivars Balodis.

The responsible Department of Housing and Environment of the Riga City Council explains that the apartments are offered by a computer system.

A family of 2-3 people will always be offered a two-room apartment. In the opinion of the Riga City Council, this is also the case.

The City Council agrees that the apartment is really too small for Julia’s family. The family can opt out, but the rules only allow you to opt out of three offers. This is the second offer for July.
