The Government of El Salvador has invested and implemented US$56 million nationwide in resettlement projects aimed at providing safe and dignified housing to families who have historically lived in vulnerable conditions or high-risk areas, reported the Minister of Housing of El Salvador, Michelle Sol, during the handover of new homes in Ahuachapán.
As part of this strategy, 82 families received the keys to their new homes today in the 10 de Mayo Housing Project, located in the 10 de Mayo community, in the Llano de La Laguna canton, Ahuachapán Centro district.
The official explained that this initiative is part of the Resettlement Program promoted by the State, which seeks to guarantee housing solutions for families who have faced vulnerable conditions for years.
“This project is part of the Resettlement Program, through which we seek to protect thousands of Salvadorans who have historically lived in high-risk areas. Nationwide, US$56 million has been invested and implemented through this initiative”, said Michelle Sol.
The minister explained that the may 10th Housing Project represented an investment of US$3 million, funds that included urbanization works, housing construction, and the installation of basic services such as electricity and potable water.
In addition, the project included complementary works such as drainage, stormwater systems, lighting, and other improvements aimed at guaranteeing safe and adequate conditions for the beneficiary families.
The new homes were delivered to families who actively participated in the construction process through a mutual aid model, contributing labor and community effort to make the housing project a reality.
During the handover ceremony, Michelle Sol emphasized the social importance of the program and its impact on Salvadoran families. “It’s a pleasure to be with you, to see those tears of joy as you excitedly pick up the keys to your house”, the official said.
One of the beneficiaries was Ruth Serrano, a single mother and resident of the community, who said that receiving her home represents an opportunity for stability and security for her children.
“We thank God for this opportunity and for receiving our keys. It’s a mix of emotions because this is our children’s inheritance. We all worked together; I’m a single mother, and I’m very happy and grateful to President Nayib Bukele and Minister Michelle Sol”, she expressed.
Authorities indicated that these types of projects not only aim to provide safe housing but also improve the quality of life for families by creating communities with access to basic services and adequate spaces for social development.
The may 10th Housing Project also represents an alternative for families who previously lived in vulnerable areas, allowing them to move to safer spaces with adequate infrastructure.
The Ministry of Housing emphasized that resettlement programs will continue to be developed in different parts of the country, with the goal of further reducing the housing deficit and providing dignified solutions for more salvadorans.
