The Government of Panama fulfills its promise and delivers 130 new homes to low-income families. The delivery, managed through the Miviot, includes new social interest homes, national emergency housing, and housing improvement, with an investment of over B/.3.4 million to benefit 650 people. The beneficiary families, of scarce resources, reside in the districts of David, Boquerón, Bugaba, Renacimiento, Barú, and Boquete. Investment in Dignity and Family Stability The head of Miviot, Jaime Jované, emphasized that this action is part of the government plan focused on providing dignified homes that ensure low-income families access to basic services and a consequent improvement in their quality of life. “The delivery of these keys represents the delivery of dignity to these homes; it symbolizes security, hope, and stability for the families who today receive a dignified home and can rebuild their lives,” highlighted Minister Jované. The 130 new homes directly benefit 650 people and represent an investment exceeding B/.3,418,000. Additionally, the minister mentioned that the entity delivered 110 homes from housing projects that had been previously abandoned in the province this same year. Characteristics of the Residences The symbolic delivery took place during the inauguration of the Bugaba Hospital Dr. José Félix Espinosa Barroso. With this delivery, the Government fulfills the commitment made to the families affected by the inclement weather in November 2024. The delivery, made through the Ministry of Housing and Territorial Ordering (Miviot), covered new social interest homes, housing improvement, and national emergency. It was detailed that the cost of the basic units is B/.25 thousand, while the cost of the national emergency homes amounts to about B/.31 thousand. The residences have two bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, hygienic bathroom with a septic tank, concrete floors, and a roof. Miviot prioritized attention to families that suffered damage, and even the total loss of their homes, due to heavy rains.
