Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo announced that all the necessary land has been secured to meet the goal of building 186,000 homes in 2025, as part of the Housing for Well-being program. Speaking during the “People’s Conference,” she emphasized that this initiative prioritizes workers earning up to two minimum wages and focuses on areas with access to public transportation, schools, and essential services.
Sheinbaum explained that the land was acquired through donations from municipalities, state governments, and the federal government, or through agreements with private landowners, who can also participate in the program. Of the total housing goal, over 138,000 homes are already in progress: 54,707 under construction (24,902 through CONAVI and 29,805 through INFONAVIT), and 83,766 in preliminary stages such as land clearing, geotechnical studies, and topographic surveys.
Secretary of Agrarian, Territorial, and Urban Development Edna Elena Vega Rangel confirmed that the program is already 75% complete and is active in 30 states across the country. She also reported that the six-year target has been expanded to 1.2 million homes, distributed among CONAVI (500,000), INFONAVIT (600,000), and FOVISSSTE (100,000). In addition, the Federal Mortgage Society (SHF) will provide 100,000 loans for new homes and 250,000 for home improvement.
Rodrigo Chávez Contreras, director of CONAVI, stated that the agency has reached 62% progress on its assigned 86,000 homes. Meanwhile, INFONAVIT Director Octavio Romero Oropeza announced that they plan to have 301,466 homes under contract by December 31, 2025, with an additional 7,612 homes delivered before February 2026.
This program is a cornerstone of the federal government’s social welfare policy, aiming to ensure dignified, accessible housing for Mexican workers while advancing a fairer, more orderly urban development model with a long-term vision.
