Tulum Families Without Social Security Can Apply for Federal Housing Program

Tulum, Quintana Roo — Families in Tulum without social security can now register for a federal housing program that will build 2,548 homes across the municipality, according to state officials.

The program is a joint effort by federal, state and municipal governments. Ana Laura Bolívar Flores, deputy secretary of housing at SEDETUS, the state’s Secretariat for Sustainable Territorial and Urban Development, said 1,888 of the homes will be built by Infonavit, Mexico’s national workers’ housing fund, for eligible workers. The remaining 660 will be handled by CONAVI, the national housing commission, for people who do not have social security.

The state government contributed the land reserve for the housing projects.

Bolívar Flores said the CONAVI registration desk is now open for people earning up to 18,000 pesos a month. “We invite those interested to go to the domed community center in Akumal, where staff from Bienestar and CONAVI are processing registrations for people seeking to buy their first home,” she said.

Of the CONAVI homes, 480 will be built in Chemuyil and 180 in Akumal. The Akumal project will include basic services, urban infrastructure and proximity to schools, Bolívar Flores said.

No official date has been set for the start of construction or for handing over the homes. Authorities said the schedule will be announced as administrative and technical processes advance.
