Overview
- Authorities handed over 120 new apartments to indigenous families across four sites—56 on San Jerónimo, 40 on Isabel la Católica, 16 on Academia and 8 on Sol—with an INVI‑reported investment of about 117.48 million pesos, average unit size near 53 m² and per‑unit costs roughly 464,000–700,000 pesos; the Isabel la Católica complex includes a ground‑floor plaza with 56 stalls for productive activities.
- Jefa de Gobierno Clara Brugada set a target of building 3,000 social housing units annually in the Centro Histórico to reverse depopulation and curb the conversion of housing into warehouses or commercial uses, with plans to acquire vacant lots in the area.
- A new rent‑subsidy program is slated to start in 2026 to assist an estimated 20,000–40,000 families, paired with a proposed Rentas Justas law to cap annual rent increases to inflation, register leases and sanction violations.
- Housing Secretary Inti Muñoz said the city plans 700 additional units for indigenous communities in 2026 and 150 residential regeneration projects in the Centro Histórico perimeters A and B.
- Urban‑recovery steps in the central area will include illuminating 52 kilometers of streets, creating child‑friendly ‘ludi‑calles’ and deploying a distinct police presence to strengthen safety.
