The Ministry of Housing delivered this Thursday property deeds to 21 families in the municipality of El Paisnal, in San Salvador.
“These deeds represent an investment of $9,450. This work has been done thanks to the technical, social and legal teams, which has allowed us to reach this point where you can have a document that guarantees your family patrimony”, said the delegate of the Housing System, Juan Carlos Figueroa.
The families had suffered displacement during the Salvadoran civil war, and when it was over they returned to the municipality, settling in the area since 1994, acquiring the property in the name of Adesco and building their homes with the help of the Lutheran Church and German cooperation; since then, the 21 families had not been able to obtain individual legal certainty.
“You cannot imagine what it feels like to know that we now have a document that makes us creditors,” said Jorge Rivas, who benefited from the delivery of deeds.
Housing reported that 71% of the total deeds delivered today are registered in favor of women, ensuring that, from the moment the case was known, they began with field work, carried out technical inspections, topographic measurements, preparation and approvals of plans until the signing and delivery of deeds.
The Government highlights the organized work of the community, to achieve legalization that will give each family the opportunity to have access to credit to improve their homes, register basic services in their name, manage improvements in their community, among others.
President Bukele’s new policy to serve the most needy families is to provide timely housing solutions through loans, property deeds, housing, and resettlement, benefiting more than 35,000 family groups during his administration, with an investment of more than $624 million. .
