A. M. The Ministerio de Vivienda, through the Fondo Social para la Vivienda (FSV), has consolidated its role as a fundamental pillar in salvadoran families’ access to decent housing. Since 2019, cumulative investment has reached a historic high of US$978.15 million, which has resulted in the granting of 43,374 housing loans. This investment has improved the quality of life of more than 179,915 people throughout the country.
In july, the housing sector experienced strong growth with the deed registration of 552 homes, representing an investment of US$17.68 million. These figures not only reflect the public’s confidence in the government’s housing policies but also demonstrate the positive impact on the national economy. Investment in housing benefits thousands of Salvadoran families by providing them with secure and stable assets.
Housing minister Michelle Sol attributes the success of these initiatives to an inter-institutional effort and the climate of security established in the country. This peaceful environment has encouraged more salvadorans to invest in their future and that of their families. The minister has expressed that the FSV will continue working to help more families achieve the dream of owning their own home, promoting the construction of strong communities.
So far in 2025, the FSV has already channeled 3,565 housing loans, totaling US$110.87 million. Of this amount, a significant portion, US$54.10 million, has been allocated to the purchase of new homes, stimulating the construction industry and creating thousands of jobs. The remaining investment has been distributed between existing housing and loans for extraordinary assets.
The government’s investment in housing not only represents an economic benefit but also a profound social impact. By facilitating access to housing, poverty is combated, health is improved, and family cohesion is strengthened. Owning a home is more than just a roof over your head; it is the foundation for salvadoran families to build a prosperous and secure future in their country.
Through these actions, the Government of El Salvador reaffirms its commitment to protecting and empowering the population, providing real opportunities for growth. The continuity of these policies is essential to maintaining economic and social stability, ensuring that progress reaches every corner of the country and that the well-being of Salvadorans is the administration’s top priority.
