The Ministerio de Vivienda has announced that, to date, it has invested US$800.1 million through the Fondo Social para la Vivienda. This investment has benefited 37,370 families, granting them loans to purchase their own homes. Of this amount, 95% has been allocated to social interest loans, demonstrating the institution’s commitment to improving access to housing for the population.
Of the accumulated results in the different lines of credit, 9,210 loans have been granted for new homes with a total investment of US$323.46 million. In addition, 19,855 loans for used housing and other categories have been processed, for a total of US$368.89 million. These efforts reflect significant momentum in the housing market.
Within the extraordinary assets program, 8,305 houses have been assigned through the Plan Control Territorial, representing an investment of US$110 million. Most of these properties require improvements to make them habitable, and the program offers users additional credits for construction or improvement, with a 2% interest rate and no premiums.
This comprehensive approach not only facilitates the purchase of homes, but also supports the rehabilitation of existing properties, thus ensuring that beneficiaries can enjoy adequate living conditions. The combination of acquisition and improvement loans reflects a robust strategy to address the country’s housing needs.
