President Sheinbaum Inaugurates New Homes in Nuevo León
President Claudia Sheinbaum led the official delivery of 53 homes in the municipality of Juárez, Nuevo León, on Sunday, February 8, 2026. The event, held at the 'Villas de Palmanova' development, is a key component of the federal government's 'Vivienda para el Bienestar' (Housing for Wellbeing) program, which seeks to address housing needs across the country.
During the ceremony, President Sheinbaum emphasized her administration's commitment to ensuring access to dignified housing as a fundamental right, not a commodity. She was accompanied by Governor Samuel García and other federal officials, including Octavio Romero Oropeza, Director General of INFONAVIT.
'Vivienda para el Bienestar' Program Details
The 'Vivienda para el Bienestar' program is designed to provide adequate and affordable housing solutions for vulnerable populations. Key aspects of the program highlighted during the event include:
- Offering subsidies and accessible options for families earning up to two minimum wages.
- Targeting individuals who do not have access to housing benefits from institutions like INFONAVIT or FOVISSSTE.
- Reducing requirements for INFONAVIT credits, enabling workers with low incomes and as little as six months of employment history to acquire a home.
- Ensuring new homes meet a minimum standard of 60 square meters to guarantee dignified living conditions.
Ambitious Housing Goals for Nuevo León and Beyond
The delivery in Juárez is part of a broader initiative with ambitious targets for Nuevo León. The program aims to construct a total of 80,000 houses in the state throughout President Sheinbaum's administration. Nationally, the 'Vivienda para el Bienestar' program projects the construction of 1.8 million homes for low-income families.
The 53 homes delivered are part of a larger development in Juárez, where INFONAVIT is constructing 1,576 residences. This event concluded a two-day working tour for President Sheinbaum in Nuevo León, which also included the inauguration of a CEBETIS educational institution in García and a supervisory visit to the construction site of a General Specialties Hospital in Santa Catarina.

This is just a political show. Where's the quality control?

Making housing more accessible for low-income families is a positive step. However, it's crucial that these new communities have access to good jobs, schools, and healthcare, not just houses.

Unsustainable spending, plain and simple. We need real economic growth.

The delivery of homes is a visible achievement, yet it's important to remember that housing is just one piece of the puzzle. Addressing poverty and creating opportunities are equally vital for true 'wellbeing'.
