The National Housing Fund for Workers (Infonavit) has kicked off a housing project in Michoacán, delivering the first 48 homes as part of the Plan Michoacán por la Paz y la Justicia. This plan aims to construct 50,000 homes across the state throughout the six-year term.

Background on Infonavit
Infonavit is a Mexican government-owned mortgage finance institution that provides housing credit to workers in the private sector. Established in 1970, it has become a crucial component of Mexico’s social security system, offering affordable housing solutions to millions of workers.
Relevance of the Michoacán Project
Michoacán, one of Mexico’s western states, has faced significant challenges in recent years, including violence, economic instability, and displacement. The Infonavit housing project aims to provide safe, affordable homes for thousands of families in the region, contributing to social and economic development.
Details of the Housing Project
The initial phase of the project saw Infonavit deliver 48 newly constructed homes in Michoacán. These homes, each spanning 60 square meters, were part of the Plan Michoacán por la Paz y la Justicia. The project’s governor, Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla, emphasized the importance of these homes in providing secure living spaces for families.

Infonavit plans to begin constructing 42,000 more homes in Michoacán during 2026. These new homes will be distributed between the first and second semesters of the year, further bolstering the state’s housing stock.
