In march 2016 alone, 478 homes were registered, representing an investment of US$16.52 million, demonstrating sustained demand in the sector.
Digitalization and access to services
The Minister highlighted that one of the key advances has been the modernization of FSV services, which now allows users to complete their procedures online. This transformation facilitates access for more salvadorans and streamlines the housing financing process.
Boosting affordable housing projects
The salvadoran Housing System is also promoting the construction of private projects focused on low-income families, with the goal of expanding the supply of affordable housing.
With these results, the government seeks to consolidate a housing policy that combines financing, inclusion, and urban development, enabling more salvadorans to access homeownership.
