“On the contrary, we have a path outlined by President Alberto Fernández that, for the first time in history of the Argentine Republic, has a ministry that deals with habitat” and that “has a national project to facilitate access to housing“, he claimed.
“Our obligation is to work on development, address all issues to, based on public investment, generate increase and the rootingas our president asks us and that is why it is important to work with the provinces,” he stressed.

Asked about the installments of the Procrear program, Ferraresi recalled that “all the Procrear that were made through the Banco Hipotecario left the UVA system and we passed them to the HOME systemwhich has a coefficient adjusted by the Salary Variation Coefficient”.
“But seeing the behavior of the index, the President asked us to create another formula that today is called Own house and that adjusts its fee by multiplying the Salary Variation Coefficient by 0.9″, so that “this index is even less than the rate of salary increase” and thus “does not generate a loss of quality of life in the policy holder credit“.

He pointed out that this week part of his team from the ministry has already worked in Mendoza “so that the National Government and the municipalities put together the designs, the ordinance comes out and the transfer of land is carried out” in order to start with the execution of houses “before the end of the year“.
In the case of Chacothe minister remarked that the province “has very good planning regarding the redevelopment of neighborhoods” and that all social sectors “are involved in the programs that the Ministry has and that the province applies effectively and efficiently.”
“In the province we are generating more than 1,500 homes in urban developments, we deliver more than 1,200 zero-rate loans, and there are more than 2,000 residents of the province who are building a value totally different from that of the market,” he pointed out.
“That implies that we are going to generate Urban groundmore than 1300 lots that will be raffled with zero rate loans They show us that we are going to start changing the reality in Argentina,” he stressed.
