The holders of files to points have carved the lion's share of housing allocated during the past year, with 6,331 of the 15,071 public rental housing.

The housing formula points were distributed over three sites, namely Oued Tlat (3,431), the locality of Ain El Beida in the town of Es-Senia (2,000) and the neighborhood El-Barki in the capital of wilaya (900).

The head of housing at the local directorate of Housing, Soudani Noureddine, told the APS that the delay in the distribution of housing formula points is due mainly to the unavailability of land in the daira of Oran, having forced the local authorities to locate these projects at the new urban center of Oued Tlelat and in the locality of Ain El Beida.

"Other quotas of public rental housing will be distributed in the coming years to holders of files to points of the daira of Oran, in order to meet the demands recorded in the new urban centers, whether in the town of Oued Tlelat or in that of Bir El-Djir, "he said.

The new housing site, consisting of buildings from 5 to 9 floors, is equipped with all amenities, including green spaces and playgrounds.
