Mexico delivers 72 new homes in Aguascalientes as part of housing program

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo oversaw the delivery of 72 homes in the San Francisco de los Romo area of Aguascalientes, Mexico.

The homes are located in the Fraccionamiento Infonavit del Barranco, a complex of 152 houses that have been fully assigned to Mexican families. The Vivienda para el Bienestar program aims to build 1.8 million new homes and provide direct support to 12 million people across Mexico.

Sheinbaum described the initiative as the most important housing program in the history of the country, focusing on supporting the most vulnerable populations. The plan also includes expanding direct support for home improvements and creating more accessible credits for the public. Edna Elena Vega Rangel, head of the Ministry of Housing, Communications, and Transportation (Sedatu), stated that the program has reached a 38 percent progress level toward a local goal of 24,300 homes.

Octavio Romero Oropeza, the director general of Infonavit, noted that the state goal increased to 20,000 homes. He reported that 8,000 homes are already contracted and 9,000 more are scheduled for contract before the end of the year. Governor María Teresa Jiménez Esquivel of Aguascalientes announced that the state and local municipalities will donate 92 additional plots of land to Infonavit and Sedatu.

Nationally, Romero Oropeza reported that 57 of the 143 active housing complexes are fully occupied, totaling more than 50,000 homes delivered across the country.
