The Ministry of Housing and Territorial Planning provided 96 new homes to low-income families in the districts of La Chorrera and Chame, prioritizing cases of extreme health vulnerability. The project, carried out by the Ministry of Housing and Territorial Planning (Miviot), distributed 68 homes in La Chorrera and 28 in Chame. The minister, Jaime A. Jové C., along with Vice Ministers Fernando Méndez and Frank Osorio, and Governor Marylín Vallarino, presided over the symbolic delivery of certificates at the 28 de Noviembre Sports Complex. A total of 96 families with limited economic resources in the province of West Panama formally received their new housing solutions, designed to transform their living conditions and provide them with a safe environment. The new structure will allow the family to offer dignified and stable care for minors. The delivery of these units in West Panama is part of a national strategy to reduce the housing deficit. During the event, stories of overcoming were highlighted, such as that of the family of Silvia Rodríguez and Govany Guevara in Barrio Colón. According to official data, in the last year Miviot has delivered a total of 1,941 housing solutions nationwide, directly impacting more than 9,000 people who previously lived in improvised wooden and zinc houses. For this specific case, his son Abraham, 18, suffers from a disease that compromises his respiratory musculature and depends on mechanical ventilation, so Miviot expedited the construction of his home to facilitate his hospital discharge. For this specific case, the First Lady's Office will coordinate additional adaptations in the home, ensuring that the young man has an appropriate environment for his treatment and to prevent the deterioration of his health. In the district of Chame, the family of Cándida Carpintero was also benefited with one of these housing solutions. Previously living in precarious rental conditions in the community of Tumba Muerto, the family includes four minors, including Rigoberto, 12, who has diagnoses of cerebral palsy and psychomotor retardation.
