The goal is to build 1.8 million homes in the country, Claudia Sheinbaum reaffirms

Presidential Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed plans to construct 1.8 million homes in Mexico as part of the Housing for Well-Being program.

Claudia Sheinbaum, the President of Mexico, reaffirmed her commitment to constructing 1.8 million homes nationwide during her administration through the Housing for Well-Being program. She made this announcement while delivering 53 homes from the housing development Villas de Palmanova, which includes a total of 1,576 houses funded by Infonavit. This initiative forms part of her broader strategy to enhance social welfare within the country.

At the event, Sheinbaum highlighted that the 'Fourth Transformation' is focused on restoring what she calls the welfare state, emphasizing the Mexican government's social responsibilities in areas such as education, health, and housing. She also noted that these efforts have significantly contributed to reducing poverty, with 13.5 million Mexicans lifting themselves out of poverty over the past six years, and decreasing inequalities in society. The program is positioned as a fundamental pillar of her administration's governance principle, which prioritizes the well-being of the poor.

With the backing of Nuevo LeΓ³n's Governor Samuel GarcΓ­a, Sheinbaum's announcements signal a continued commitment to social equity and housing development in Mexico. The ambitious housing target aims not only to address the urgent need for affordable housing but also to reinforce the social fabric by alleviating poverty and reducing inequalities among citizens. This aligns with her goals for an inclusive governance model, marking a significant part of her political agenda as she continues her efforts in the face of various social challenges.
