The demand is for some 120,000 homes throughout the province and in many municipalities they develop strategies that range from the "hunt" for national funds to the development of their own trusts for construction.In any case, the IPV recommends “centralizing demand” and proposes to “build faster” with industrialized systems.The housing deficit in Mendoza is very large.The Provincial Housing Institute (IPV) estimates that there are around 120,000 families with this demand, although the finer number will be known with the results of the National Census.Given this scenario, despite the fact that it is not their specific task, at least half of the mayors of Mendoza have decided to take steps on their own to try to get people to access or be closer to their own roof.National quotas for houses, creation of municipal lines of credit and contributions of land, are some of the solutions that are being offered.Each commune develops different strategies and hunts for funds, materials and what is necessary to satisfy the need for homes.Most of them focus on public financing from the IPV and the Nation.But this last box has made direct agreements with communes of Justicialist administration to turn them into "executing units" and move forward with the tenders.But some municipalities try to go further.Las Heras launched its “My house, my life” program two years ago and has already delivered 108 homes."This was conceived to see how we could help the IPV, the Province and the more than 8,000 people who need housing solutions in Las Heras," Mayor Daniel Orozco said in October last year, when the house draw was held. "municipal".The families that signed the contract disbursed $900,000 destined for the trust.The quotas, until December of last year, did not exceed $20,000.Then, once the deed that includes the mortgage is completed, each beneficiary will continue to pay a 10- or 20-year loan.In January of this year, a group complained about the "excessive" increase in fees at the time of writing and denounced delays in the delivery of homes.Los Andes tried to know the current situation of the program, but from the commune they kicked the consultation for next Tuesday.Another official mayor who is looking for housing solutions is Ulpiano Suárez (Capital), who eagerly awaits the tender for the new Procrear (national program) that will be held in the Mendoza Station District (former railway) with the intention of housing 800 families.In addition, he subtracts the delivery of 136 units (out of a total of 1,200) of the complex on Tiburcio Benegas street.But on the other hand, progress is being made with land near the Cultural Warehouse, specifically in a 13,000 m2 area that already had an ideas competition and a master plan for a real estate development, taking into account that the housing demand in the Capital exceeds 9,000 units.Through Mendoza Fiduciaria, we worked on a trust for developers to participate.On June 14 the proposal was known and in these days the commission will be formalized for analysis.Another plot, on Las Cubas street, is also under scrutiny for future development.For his part, Tadeo García Zalazar, in Godoy Cruz, has already delivered 82 apartments in the Constituyentes I complex. For this, the municipality created a trust, and is moving forward with the Constituyentes II complex, which has three legs: the municipal, the IPV and the developer company.The project contemplates the construction of 64 apartments located on unused land located on Vélez Sarsfield street, near the Mendoza TIC Technology Park.On the other hand, it executes the municipal program Ecocasas (housing made from containers), intended as a second home for families in complex situations (violence, overcrowding).The containers are donated by Pampa Energía and are conditioned in the workshops of the Environmental Center.In Junín they gave the note years ago for the construction of houses with bricks made from plastic waste from PET bottles, within the framework of the Junín Punto Limpio Program, through which they recover containers for subsequent recycling.Currently, in the eastern department they are about to acquire a machine that will allow them to increase the volume of bricks that are made up of 70% plastic and the rest with construction materials.They evaluate the possibility of advancing in housing with municipal funds (they already have an ordinance) made with these prototypes that significantly lower costs.With the current production, extensions of different types have been made and a house has been delivered this year.These types of houses are a priority for families with disabilities.“We are talking about 100,000 bricks per month for 20 or 30 houses per month.The commitment is that from the IPV they include it in the tenders”, said Héctor Ruiz, mayor of Junín.The Casa Propia program executed by the Ministry of Territorial Development and Habitat of the Nation offers the possibility that the municipalities become executing units of housing, apart from the IPV.Of the six municipalities with PJ administrations, except for Tunuyán, all have managed neighborhoods for “Casa Propia” through the IPV.However, they are executors of the program and this alternative allows them to return the money from the installments that the beneficiaries will pay through the creation of the Municipal Housing Fund.The destination of the same will be works of this type such as urbanization, purchase of land, construction, etc.In this framework, Lavalle and Tunuyán secured a quota of houses outside the 1,000 assigned to Mendoza in this program and of which there are 344 in different stages of progress.Lavallino Roberto Righi announced that a total of 196 homes have been projected, although more than 40 are directly managed by the Nation.In his municipality, the "Building Together" program is also implemented, which collaborates with various aspects, such as technical direction and roof construction, among other things.From the commune they remarked that “more than 80 embankments were made and 50 roofs were delivered during 2021, and they collaborated in the construction of more than 300 homes.”Mayor Martín Aveiro secured some 530 homes for Tunuyán through the national program.Fernando Ubieta (La Paz) followed in his footsteps with urbanization and subsequent construction of 176 homes, Flor Destéfanis (Santa Rosa) achieved 76, in addition to the 14 that are already being built.Matías Stevanato (Maipú) is in the same negotiations.They currently have 155 houses through the national program, but through the IPV.“In 2022 we present projects for more than 200 houses and we tender 70, although there is an opportunity to continue bidding.The same IPV closed an agreement with the Nation for 1,000 houses and with the need for housing that exists, they should take advantage of it, ”said the Maipú housing undersecretary, Gustavo García Bosco.The deficit is around 13 thousand housing solutions in this department.The Maipú official's complaint is repeated in the other opposition departments: "We present projects and very few houses come out, the Nation manages it directly and we secure many more houses," they say.San Rafael also has a "separate quota" for the Casa Propia program.In the south, the acquisition of land and urbanization was undertaken, while the construction of 135 homes (in different neighborhoods) will be financed by the National State.The great majority of the departments depend on the provincial and national lines.However, in addition to collaborating with the entities that are constituted to enter the IPV Project Bank, they implement some strategies in urbanization works.Several clarify that the lines of the IPV for the improvement of housing in addition to the national funds to urbanize popular neighborhoods are widely used.In San Martín there is a demand for 2,000 homes and although it does not currently have its own lines, it has an ordinance to advance in the delivery of municipal subdivisions.The intention is to deliver them with services and then individuals build with the lines that are available.San Carlos, for its part, donated municipal land so that neighborhoods can be built with credits from the IPV.A company that works with sustainable houses and is based in oregano payments appears as an interesting element for the future.Rivadavia has been implementing, since May 2021, a municipal program called "I Build My Habitat" and notes that 60 families have benefited from aggregates and cement, in addition to the loan of the machine that blocks that can be used for extensions or building a home.Luján, Tupungato and General Alvear highlighted the support provided to entities that develop land to access IPV lines or other similar lines, but none of them have specific programs such as those mentioned above.For the national government and the jurisdictions, covering the housing deficit seems impossible."800 people per year sign up for us and we deliver less than 10% in the same period," they were honest from a municipality.In this scenario, the IPV does not think it is "incorrect" that the mayors make arrangements outside the body, but it suggests that they centralize the demand.“Of course, if a mayor has a good arrival at the national government, he will manage his own housing policies or obtain funds.It is necessary for all municipalities to centralize or take advantage of the experience of the IPV because it is the provincial body that is dedicated to this precisely, for a matter of benefit for the future awardee, since the IPV has the dynamism to carry out these processes " , indicated María Marta Ontanilla, head of the organization to Los Andes.Ontanilla stressed that currently the projects being built by the IPV are "95% with provincial funds."He also indicated that "we must look for tools that generate dynamism" and in this sense he highlighted the implementation of industrialized systems, because in addition to the benefits in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency, "they allow greater speed when building and get a little closer more than the expected number in the management”.With your subscription you
