📋 Tender Overview
The Regional Government of Arequipa, through the Regional Management of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (GRVCS), will prioritize the construction of rural housing as a realistic and focused strategy to reduce the housing deficit that affects thousands of families in the region, especially in the high Andean areas.
According to the latest housing study carried out in 2024, Arequipa has a housing deficit of more than 110,000 homes, a gap that cannot be completely closed in a single administration. Faced with this scenario, the GRVCS will concentrate its efforts on reducing at least 1,300 rural homes, aimed at families in extreme poverty and with limited access to formal housing.
The head of the management, Giovanna Manchego Mendoza, reported that a viable goal for the year 2026 contemplates the completion of 1,000 housing bonds, more than 100 rural homes currently under execution and the projection of 200 additional homes, which would allow progress with around 1,400 housing solutions in the region.
The priority will be focused on high Andean provinces such as La Union, Castilla and Caylloma, where the highest rates of housing deficit persist. To this end, the Regional Government has allocated resources from the canon and has authorized new efforts to expand coverage through Works for Taxes, with the aim of intervening in the most vulnerable areas.
Likewise, the GRVCS will resume coordination with the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation, in order to expand the scope of housing programs in both rural and urban areas. However, it was specified that these conversations are at an initial stage, considering that the magnitude of the housing gap exceeds the financial capabilities of the regional government and must be addressed in an articulated manner.
With these actions, the Regional Government of Arequipa reaffirms its commitment to progressively and responsibly address the housing deficit, prioritizing the most vulnerable families and promoting decent living conditions in rural areas of the region.
