As part of the social housing policy, federal and state authorities delivered 19 Bienestar homes to benefit a community of fishermen relocated from living in high-risk areas.

The event was held via a remote link with the participation of the governor of Tamaulipas, Américo Villarreal Anaya; the head of the Ministry of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (Sedatu), Edna Vega Rangel; and the general director of Infonavit, Octavio Romero Oropeza.

The homes were delivered in the “El Mezquital” housing unit, where the beneficiary families now have a safer environment, after having been moved from areas considered at risk, mainly due to their proximity to vulnerable conditions for fishing activity.

During the event, authorities highlighted that these types of actions are part of the Housing for Well-being program, whose objective is to guarantee decent housing conditions for historically marginalized sectors or those exposed to natural hazards.

According to the latest official report, in Tamaulipas the construction of Bienestar housing has reached 60% of the six-year goal of 84,000 homes, reflecting sustained progress in the housing strategy in the state.

It was also emphasized that the relocation of families not only responds to the need for housing, but also to the protection of life and property, by moving them away from areas with a high level of risk.

With these actions, the federal and state governments seek to reduce the housing deficit and improve the quality of life of vulnerable communities, especially those whose economic activity depends on adverse geographical conditions.
