Each day has its worth it!
The penalty now is to learn that, with no managerial determination 2361 of 29 July 2010 published on 11 August, the municipal administration headed by young Cattaneo has entrusted the management of the Village of Solidarity San Francisco, After a long wait, a cooperative of Vigevano . not for national pride but the initial project, funded by the Region to deal stipulated that the structure was their volunteering in the city of Pavia . But this council as well always preaches evil and scratching. Let's step back and retrace the history of the Village from its genesis to the present.
The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a reception center in Pavia for the last of our city was born in 2005 in the City Council during the debate on the lines of government the mayor Piera Capitelli. There was a need to create a Center for the accommodation of homeless people whose management was entrusted to the voluntary social citizens is to increase the allocation of services to the "last" of the city that already those years were significantly increasing. Just get the Social Services began to work toward the goal as soon as possible, imagining a reorganization of the system host citizens, too fragmented and unwieldy. This was encouraged by Bishop judges who shared with me the urgent need to expand the spaces for the poorest of the city. Shortly thereafter, In December 2005, a notice inviting the regional municipalities of Lombardy for proposals "to co-finance the implementation of initiatives to promote social inclusion and development of villages of welcome and solidarity." Immediately took the "bandwagon" is in the March 2006 draft of the Village of welcome and solidarity San Francisco, which collaborated on several members of the third sector national . A few months later came the news of the grant of regional co-financing, approximately 900,000 €, with the satisfaction of being the first on the list for the allocation of funds. Il progetto presentato dal Comune di Pavia era stato giudicato il migliore, davanti a progetti presentati da altri capoluoghi di provincia e della stessa Milano. Cominciava sotto i migliori auspici, e mi piace pensare che San Francesco ci abbia dato una mano, la realizzazione del Villaggio. Il Comune di Pavia mise subito a disposizione la parte mancante del finanziamento dell’opera (circa 1.300.000 euro). L’anno 2007 passò tutto per la predisposizione e l’aggiudicazione della gara d’appalto da parte del Settore Lavori Pubblici e il 12 gennaio 2008, sotto una pioggia torrenziale, alla presenza del Sindaco Piera Capitelli, di Mons. Vescovo, dell’ assessore regionale Scotti and Undersecretary to the Ministry of Social Solidarity on. Cristina De Luca, I was laying the first stone.
The works were programmed to allow the opening of the Village October 4, 2009, the day dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of the structure. When I left the office of Councillor for Social Services, for the unexpected and untimely end of the term, work is progressing well and we had the availability of funds to purchase necessary furniture and furnishings through the generosity of the Fondazione Banca del Monte and thanks to an invitation from the Ministry of Interior which in the meantime we had attended. We certainly met the objective of opening we had set.
The structure is now finished and ready to be used, but it intends to do the actual administration of the Village San Francesco is not well defined, it seems to me that the junta has ruled out hosting the reception in the structure of "low threshold "for the homeless, the main purpose for which the Village was built. It is inconceivable, after much effort on the part of the city (remember that in the draft were also engaged the resources that we gathered with a 5 per thousand to the Municipality of Pavia), a distraction from its initial use, because the regional co-financing was granted on a specific project. From press reports I learned that the Mayor Cattaneo intends to devote a part of the structure housing of unaccompanied foreign children, accommodated in host communities of the city and the province, to save on the cost of treatment. Anyone familiar with the functioning of social services know that this idea would not work primarily because the Village is a framework for different types of people and communities that these children need dedicated and protected. Second would remove resources, including economic communities for children of our city and our province with an expected increase in fees for the shelter of other children, and then entrusted with saving almost zero by the municipality. They have had to move two bishops to make it clear to Mayor Cattaneo and friends that the choice was wrong. Now is absolute mystery guests on the future. Ensure that the city administration that has inherited an innovative project is distorting not to mark a discontinuity that would pay unfortunately the most vulnerable citizens.
The main targets of the structure had to be the homeless, who first occupied the existing structure already in Sardinia Avenue, which was later incorporated in the Village. Along with a working group representatives of voluntary associations, from the diocesan Cartias, trade unions and other third sector organizations have shared the project management of the Village and we have focused our attention on potential hosts. The Village had become a point of reference, a genuine "home" for women, men and entire families, Italians and foreigners who live in conditions of poverty and social problems, not just a roof over your head but a real incubator social inclusion, enabling parallel paths of socialization through career guidance, training and employment and social integration. The facility can accommodate approximately ninety of people around. We also ask the help of Don Virginio Colmegna, founder of the House of Charity of Milan, a model which we have always inspired us and helped us willingly received in Milan. If
2005 to 2009 have made great strides for its development, partly because he felt the growing need in the face of social problems (evictions executive, increased homelessness, families in difficulty, etc..), now it seems to me that there was a slowdown in the opening frame. A few months ago I asked the city council in regard to the Mayor on the prospects for the opening of the hotel and I was tentatively set the month of April as a possible opening. From the documents which I have access to municipal councilor since I know May 17 last was made the tender to operate the facility.
The winning idea contained in the draft binding submitted to the State under which the City has received this grant, is that the structure is run by third sector and by voluntary associations of the city . Today we discover that even though this idea of \u200b\u200bdesign, innovation and participation will not be maintained. E 'grave expropriate the city from the management of the Village for the benefit of persons outside its social and civil.
be presented with the Region of Lombardy, by the council of the PD group, a question aimed at determining whether the regional co-financing can be maintained even in the face of an obvious departure from the idea the original design.
The rest is the story of a beautiful project turned in yet betrayed Cattaneo mess that the mayor has not been able to manage.
And unfortunately this time they will pay the last of the city. With good peace of the beloved St. Francis hope that, despite everything, always protect our beautiful Pavia.
