This is achieved thanks to the Plan Avanzar that this government created to help those who live in settlements.

The former candidate for mayor of Montevideo, Laura Raffowas present at the inauguration of a housing project in Villa Farré, where 54 families from the La Chacarita neighborhood were rehoused.
The settlement had been marked as a priority for rehousing, and construction began in 2018 within the framework of an agreement signed between the then Ministry of Housing, Territorial Planning and the Environment (today the Environment is a separate ministry) and the Municipality of Montevideo, all this during the second Vázquez government.
However, this last fact was ignored by Raffo when talking about the housing project on his social networks.
“We share the joy of 54 families who received their houses from the hands of @Mvot_Uruguay (Ministry of Housing and Territorial Planning),” wrote today the president of the Montevideo departmental section of the National Party.
And I add: “This is achieved thanks to the Plan Avanzar that this government created to help those who live in settlements. It’s just the beginning.”
As stated before, what Raffo said is incorrect since the work began four years ago, and even the current MVOT administration tried to stop the work arguing lack of resources.

“The neighborhoods that we agreed to intervene with the National Directorate of Social and Urban Integration (DINYSU) of the Ministry of Housing, through the Plan Avanzar are others, but it has not started yet, we are just starting now,” he explained to the newspaper The Observer the director of Lands and Habitat of the Municipality of Montevideo, Sebastián Moreno, emphasizing that the project inaugurated this past Wednesday is not part of the Plan Avanzar of the national government.
Moreno added that the Minister of Housing, Irene Moreira, had asked Carolina Cosse, when she took office at the IM, to stop the project due to lack of budget, but by then Chacarita was already under construction, and the final decision was to continue with the project. work to completion.
