A rent is a home. As we know, the services we provide for citizens living in tents continue to increase. But as the tent life sets in, we will have difficulties in providing comfort no matter how much we take precautions. Citizens definitely need houses that will put their heads on them. We have to somehow create a home. We have to provide this in the fastest and easiest way possible. We have prepared a very strong infrastructure hardware. This is not only for Izmir. Turkey was prepared based on an infrastructure can be implemented anywhere. We bring together those in need with those who have the power to meet this need. Just like we did in the People's Grocery and in the sleeping bag. This is the main idea. We bring people together. "
"16 people applied"
President Soyer continued his words as follows: “We put the IDs and names of the citizens whose houses have become uninhabitable and destroyed on our website. On our website, we have foreseen a price of 2 thousand lira for those who want to provide rent aid to these citizens. We determined a 5-month period for them to get through the winter. It is possible to rent a house for 10 months for 5 thousand liras. We prepared the page accordingly. Here, we have a map that includes the determinations, whatever there is to see. We worked with the need map. As of now, it seems that 16 citizens and earthquake victims have made demands. As of now, a person has committed to pay 10 thousand liras. The figure here will be 10 thousand liras. In short, our citizen who says 'I need a house' will enter the information as soon as he clicks here. We put this information on our page. As soon as our powerful citizens click on this name, they pay the 5-month fee with the money they will deposit into their IBAN account. Many residences remain empty in Izmir's summer resorts and summer resorts. We also offer options for our citizens who have a home here and want to use their home for 5 months. As long as they fill these lines, our citizens will meet with those in need. With the coordination of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, we will be able to solve the most painful problem in the fastest way. "We will save our citizens from tents as soon as possible and bring them together with a nest that will put their heads."
