Peru Confirms S/500 Monthly Emergency Rent Subsidy for Pamplona Alta Fire Survivors

Municipal registration will identify eligible homeowners prior to releasing payments.

Overview

  • The Housing Ministry confirmed the BAE at S/500 per month for families whose homes were lost in the Pamplona Alta fire, with support available for up to 24 months.
  • Minister Durich Whittembury said authorities are gathering household information to define the beneficiary list, and district enrollment will open in the coming days.
  • Eligibility applies only to registered homeowners of collapsed or uninhabitable dwellings, excluding tenants, guardians and families owning another home in the same region.
  • Hundreds of displaced residents are living in state-provided tents as they await empadronamiento and the start of subsidy disbursements.
  • Longer-term rebuilding and land regularization are uncertain because the area may belong to the Education Ministry, after explosions from an illegal fireworks operation during the blaze left four people injured.
