Proposed Objective(s)
2. The Calderon administration has maintained the previous government’s commitment to address Mexico’s critical housing and urban development needs. The National Development Plan 2007-2012 aims to increase access to housing for the poorest segments of the population in an orderly, rational and sustainable context. The program has emerged from the consultations held by the Federal Government in various regional forums held between January and March 2007. It has seven goals:
• Strengthen tenure security through the standardization of property registries, municipal cadastres and rural registries as well as the mandatory registry of properties.
• Increase the coverage and variety of housing finance options available.
• Increase the supply of adequate land for housing construction and economic development.
• Re-use of the existing urban infrastructure,
• Consolidation of the National Housing System.
• Generate a dynamic used housing market and assist the development of an efficient rental market
• Promote housing improvement and create conditions to foster progressive housing and social housing production through alternative financial products and support for the lower-income population.
