In brief: Peru gov’t plans to boost housing construction

* Peru’s housing, construction & sanitation ministry (MVCS) has announced that one of its goals is to promote the construction of 212,000 homes between 2019 and 2021. According to official news agency Andina only 70,000 homes were built between 2017 and 2018. However, in what he describes as an “historic figure”, deputy housing & planning minister David Ramos says he hopes the country can build 100,000 homes by 2020. Ramos said that by the end of 2018, about 1.6m families did not have a home with basic living conditions. Ramos also added that by the end of 2018, seven out of ten houses in Peru had been built informally, which cause “inadequate living conditions, physical and legal precariousness, and an increased vulnerability to natural disasters” for their inhabitants.
