The Ministry of Housing and Territorial Planning (MVOT) and the Florida mayor's office signed an agreement that defines the priorities in terms of housing, agreed upon between both organizations. The head of that portfolio, Tamara Paseyro, announced that 26 housing solutions will be built in the Chacras 2 and Tomás González settlements, on land donated by the departmental commune.
The MVOT collected, through a census, data on the inhabitants of Chacras 2 and Tomás González, which made it possible to define the construction of 13 housing solutions for each of the settlements, on land that will be transferred by the Florida mayor's office, Paseyro reported, according to the portfolio on its website.
Accompanied by the director of Social and Urban Integration, Pablo Cresci, and after a meeting with Mayor Carlos Enciso, the minister recalled that the priorities defined in the Five-Year Housing and Habitat Plan include attention to the most vulnerable sectors and the housing emergency.
Another priority in the department will be to work on the titling and definitive regularization of Sitio Pintado, Paseyro added.
MVOT promotes access to housing for middle and low income sectors throughout the country
The Secretary of State mentioned that the MVOT carries out other programs that aim at access to housing for middle and lower-middle income sectors, which will also be promoted in Florida.
The objective is to help those families that do not have the capacity to save, but do have the capacity to pay a subsidized fee, he explained, which is why it was agreed with the Banco Hipotecario del Uruguay to reduce the percentage of savings required to purchase a home to 5%.
"Last year we took out 350 loans throughout the country to purchase housing in the interior. There are families that have already started to write, others who are searching. This is the path: trying to reach the different sectors of the population that most strongly need a State and a present Ministry of Housing," he said.
