Mexico Launches Housing Improvement Program: 40,000 Pesos in Aid for Needy Families Mexico City – The Mexican government, through a collaboration between the National Housing Commission (Conavi), the Secretariat of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (Sedatu), and the Secretariat of Welfare, has launched a new program to improve the living conditions of its citizens. The "Vivienda para el Bienestar" initiative will provide 40,000 pesos in financial assistance to families who meet specific criteria. "The objective is for Mexican families to live in more functional and safe homes," explains a representative from Conavi in the video. The program prioritizes women heads of household, older adults, people with disabilities, and indigenous populations living in marginalized areas. To be eligible, applicants must be over 18 years old, have a monthly income below 17,000 pesos, and not own another property. The aid is specifically for home improvements, such as purchasing construction materials, paying for labor, and making structural repairs. The application process is conducted in person, visiting homes in the designated municipalities. One applicant commented, "It's a great help for families like mine who need to improve their houses but lack the resources." The program represents a significant step towards improving housing conditions for vulnerable populations in Mexico, offering hope and tangible support for families striving to create better homes.
