We improve the living conditions of low-income families through access to safe, decent housing. In the past 30 years, we have served more than 6,000 families.
According to the United Nations Development Programme, the housing deficit in the Dominican Republic is almost 2.2 million units, of which about 60.6% is qualitative. Compared to those who are homeless, there are more people living in inadequate housing. The housing shortage is growing annually by an average of 50,000 to 60,000 homes.
At the national level, housing is built by families. The high cost of construction services and families’ low incomes make it impossible for them to access the formal building sector, which leads to deterioration of home quality and safety.
At a national level, the housing production system is auto-production, or social production, which is the construction of housing by families and communities.
The high cost of professional construction services and the low incomes of many families do not allow these families to access formal means of construction, and this aggravates the poor quality and lack of security of the homes.
