Since his campaign, Brugada Molina announced that his water plan for the capital included converting Sacmex into the new Secretariat for Human Rights and Sustainable Water Management, an agency that he said would work with a comprehensive vision of the resource, including not only technical aspects, but also environmental and social ones.
“We will create the Secretariat because it is such an important issue that we cannot leave it only in Sacmex, we need to turn it into a Government Secretariat because of the importance of the issue,” he said on March 22.
There will also be a Housing Secretariat
The elected head of government, who will take office on October 5, 2024, also announced this Thursday that together with the capital Congress she will seek to create the new Mexico City Housing Secretariat.
In this way, Brugada Molina adds this new proposal to transform the INVI to turn it into a government secretariat that is the pillar of Mexico City’s housing policy.
Part of the commitments made by the former mayor of Iztapalapa to the CDMX Government in this area during her campaign were also the implementation of 200,000 housing actions over the next six years, including the construction of new housing and the improvement of low-income housing as well as housing at risk.
He also proposed promoting the affordable housing program for young people with the option to buy, where their rent payments can be taken into account for the payment if they decide to buy their first home, and the communal housing project for elderly people who lack family support.
INVI is a Decentralized Public Body of the Public Administration of Mexico City, with its own legal personality and assets.
It was created in 1995, through an Agreement published in the Official Gazette of the Federal District, with the objective of acquiring urban land for the construction of social interest housing.
Thus, on September 29, 1998, the Federal District Housing Institute was created by decree, with the fundamental purpose of having a decentralized organization with its own assets, which would allow it to have autonomy to address the housing problem.
Over the years, INVI became the linchpin of the Federal District Government’s housing policy.
