The primary goal of this initiative is to provide affordable homes to vulnerable populations, including single mothers, young individuals, indigenous communities, and the elderly. Specifically, in Playas de Rosarito, approximately 500 new homes will be constructed with a focus on benefiting women-led households.
During her speech, Sheinbaum highlighted the crucial role of intergovernmental cooperation to ensure the program’s success. She also addressed other regional concerns, such as enhancing access to clean water for local communities.
