en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mexico's federal government, through the "Welfare Housing Plan" (Vivienda para el Bienestar), has achieved 274,000 housing units under construction and signed contracts for over 604,000 units, approximately one-third of the six-year goal of 1.8 million housing actions. President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that the plan is progressing as expected, benefiting millions of Mexicans through new housing construction, home improvements, and land regularization efforts. Among these, 24,500 housing units have been delivered, and projects underway across all 32 states are expected to accelerate in the second half of this year.
The "Welfare Housing Plan" is one of the social initiatives of the Sheinbaum administration, aiming to build 1 million new homes, deliver 1 million property titles, provide 1 million home improvement actions, and facilitate 800,000 housing loans during the current term, to improve access to adequate housing for low-income families, women, indigenous communities, the elderly, and other vulnerable groups.
Edna Vega, head of the Ministry of Land, Territory, and Urban Development (SEDATU), reported that the housing under construction is expected to benefit approximately 2.1 million people, with over 604,000 housing units having completed contract processes and set to begin construction in the coming months. Progress varies by state, with projects in Tabasco, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán leading the way, while Mexico City, Baja California Sur, and Jalisco face delays due to land supply and reserve acquisition issues.
In addition to new housing construction, the home improvement strategy has reached over 32% of its long-term target, while nearly 293,000 property titles have been delivered as part of efforts to provide legal security for homeowners. The National Institute for Sustainable Land (INSUS) reported that over 715,000 families are participating in land regularization procedures, exceeding initial expectations for this phase, with nearly two-thirds of completed regularization actions registered in women's names.
The latest construction progress update follows recent housing deliveries in Puebla and Morelos, where President Sheinbaum handed over homes and property titles. The government emphasizes that housing is considered a social right, not a purely market-driven asset. Federal authorities state that ensuring families have clear property documents is as important as delivering new homes, especially in communities historically facing irregular land tenure conditions.
The government views the housing plan as both a social welfare program and an economic development tool, believing that large-scale residential construction can create jobs in the construction supply chain and support local economies through demand for materials, transportation, and related services. Previously, the government estimated that housing projects under the plan could generate hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs over the entire term.
The main agencies responsible for implementing the plan continue to expand operations. The National Housing Commission (CONAVI) reported that 82,000 housing units have been started in 2025, with support provided for 114,000 home improvements, and plans to start another 73,000 housing units in 2026 while executing an additional 36,000 improvement actions. Octavio Romero, Director General of the National Workers' Housing Fund Institute (Infonavit), stated that the agency has made progress in restructuring legacy loans, with over 457,000 loans fully settled and millions more converted to fixed repayment plans with lower interest rates.
