In one Sicilian town, littered with abandoned homes, houses are for sale for just one Euro, as part of the 'Case 1 Euro scheme'. The catch? Buyers are required to renovate their newly acquired homes. • Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • For more information, visit https://www.journeyman.tv/film/8291 • In the Sicilian town of Mussomeli, a unique solution to the problem of abandoned homes has been developed: the 'Case 1 Euro' scheme. Houses are sold for 1 Euro, on the condition they'll be renovated. '[Renovation requires] a minimum of €20,000', explains one estate agent. Local Salvatore fears that the town may yet become a ghost town: 'On this street, you'd be amazed how many abandoned houses there are'. Though the scheme has proved popular, a concern is that many buyers will not reside permanently in the town. 'If you work remotely it's a great opportunity. But also, I say, think of something that's going to give jobs to the people of a town', says new resident Danny. Other towns are tackling the problem in different ways. In Camini, Rosario and Guisy set up a program to integrate refugees: ‘We gave help to[refugees], but in the same way these people were helping the village to have another chance.’ • Like us on Facebook: / journeymanpictures • Follow us on Twitter: • / journeymannews • / journeymanvod • Follow us on Instagram: / journeymanpictures • Visit our subreddit: / journeymanpictures • SBS Australia – Ref. 8291
