This public of mature people who are in the peak years of their lives, sacrifice everything for the sake of the country. The reserve service is intense and difficult both physically and mentally, processes that take a very heavy toll on the body and mind, but not only.
This population continues to lead the country's economy between one round of reserves and another. This population continues to hold jobs, lead and manage businesses that drive the country's economy. Another challenge is the involvement and management of home, family and children amidst all this chaos.
The State of Israel with all its components and institutions should cherish the public of reserve servants and their families and do everything to make their lives easier on the economic and welfare level.
In this article I will list a number of steps that the government has decided to take and I will even work to implement them in any way that is at my disposal:
- According to the directive of the Prime Minister, the move to provide land discounts in national priority areas was completed: it was decided to increase the discounts given to all reserve soldiers and to determine that they will be entitled to an additional 10% reduction of the payment rates established in national priority areas. The increased area discount will be in addition to the discount that existed until now, at a height of up to 100 thousand shekels depending on the location of the land and its value. As mentioned, in accordance with the decision, the discount that will be given to a reservist due to lack of housing in most localities in National Priority Area A will reach up to 90% of the value of the land.
- Target Price: Allocation of 20% From the first apartments raffled in the projects of a price per inhabitant and a target price for reservists (instead of 10% as was customary until now) until the end of 2024.
- Affordable Urban Housing: This is the most important section. In the municipal sector at this stage there is still no legislation or government decision (they are working on it), the heads of authorities have a lot of power and they can initiate proactive moves for the public of the reserve servants even without a government decision.
As we know, the expenditure on housing is the heaviest of the living expenses. Therefore, affordable housing assistance for servants, especially for reservists from the weaker sections of the city's residents, will help them deal with the challenges of life that have intensified as a result of the prolonged fighting.
the state Aid advance For servants on the subject of housing. However, in order to reach effective scopes, the key is in the hands of the local leadership to help the soldiers who live in the city, including by giving priority and dedicated allocations in affordable housing and as part of encouraging and supporting the establishment of projects in the city.
Another component is assistance in establishing a home for single and discharged soldiers, similar to the homes that were established and are being established with the support of the mayors, in Ra'anana, in intelligence, in Rashtrapati and other cities.
In conclusion:
There are many other actions in which the reserve servants can be helped. I chose to focus on the important issues that make a big difference. Anyone who reads this article and can help with the authorities is invited to contact me and help us at the reserve struggle headquarters.
