The Institute of the National Housing Fund for Workers (Infonavit) and the Government of Mexico City (GCDMX), signed a collaboration agreement to expedite the attention of various housing procedures for the inhabitants of the country's capital.

"The right to education cannot be conceived if there is no school near the house, and the right to mobility cannot be realized if there are no means of transport and infrastructure," said the head of Infonavit, Carlos Martínez during the signing ceremony of the aforementioned agreement in which the head of government of the CDMX, Claudia Sheinbaum was present.

The official explained that Infonavit with CDMX joins efforts in different aspects, including expanding the granting of loans.

This year the institute will carry out about 35 thousand housing actions, but it wants more people to use their savings, so territorial action will be focused to offer improvement, expansion and self-production schemes that have administrative facilities and offer mortgage products .

It will be supported by the improvement of units built by Infonavit in the 70s and 80s, many of them iconic such as El Rosario, in coordination with the Social Prosecutor's Office.

As a third axis, patrimonial security will be given to those who have the least, such as facilitating the cancellation of mortgage liens for those who have already paid off their credit.

At the same time, the financial health of families will be recovered by promoting loan restructuring, discounts for early settlement and facilities to pay their loans with Infonavit.

In CDMX, 24 thousand loans that were in minimum wages have been converted and almost 9 billion pesos have been forgiven in loan balances that seemed unpayable, he added.

Claudia Sheinbaum said that this agreement is the result of a collaborative work with Infonavit and different areas of the city government, in which four points stand out. The first is that the institute's credits can be used in housing programs where there is private development, such as the inclusive affordable housing corridors.

The second, as mentioned by Carlos Martínez, has to do with housing units that Infonavit built and that have been deteriorating their public spaces.

This is very good because it is the recovery of public space through the housing units, based on the organization developed by the Social Prosecutor's Office, he reiterated.

As a third party, he explained that the INVI has a home improvement program, loans that are given very soft so that people can apply it on their own property, and now Infonavit will participate.

And he mentioned that the fourth has to do with properties that still belong to the institute and that many years ago were invaded or permits were given to build housing, and there are people who cannot be regularized because they are from the institute, although they have been in the place for many years.
