**New Homes to Be Built for 130 Families in Camino Verde with Federal Funding**
In a significant move to address housing needs, 130 families from Camino Verde, who have found themselves without a place to live following the demolition of their homes, are set to receive new homes. This was announced by Luis Moreno Hernandez, the Undersecretary of Government for the metropolitan zone. The initiative, which involves collaboration with local developers, aims to offer affordable housing solutions.
The homes are being constructed with the financial support of the National Housing Commission (Conavi). This effort is managed by the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Urban Development, and Territorial Reorganization (Sidurt). Salvador Cervantes Hernández, head of the State Coordination of Civil Protection, explained that there is a constant monitoring system for high-risk zones in the city to ensure timely intervention.
Alfredo Álvarez Cárdenas, the head of the State General Government Secretariat, highlighted the complications in declaring a state of emergency, which would typically allow access to special funds, but noted these avenues are no longer as effective due to financial constraints.
The government, alongside the Tijuana City Council and the Metropolitan Planning Institute (Implan), is working to classify Camino Verde as a high-risk area. The goal is to address the issue through multiple initiatives, given the magnitude of the ongoing geological movement in the area.
