Overview
- At a Mesa Nacional de Barrios Populares panel, Church and civil-society leaders said budget cuts have virtually halted works for vulnerable neighborhoods across the country.
- Organizers reported more than 700 urbanization projects stopped and over 11,000 women affected by the suspension of the Mi Pieza housing-improvement program.
- The Juzgado Federal de Pehuajó ordered the national government to guarantee continuity of the policy and suspended attempts to dissolve the Fondo de Integración Socio Urbana (FISU).
- The government under President Javier Milei downgraded the implementing office and defunded FISU, a move it has justified with claims of partisan management and alleged corruption.
- Backers highlighted that the policy, rooted in RENABAP and Law 27.453, had been audited and delivered scale results, including 1,200+ projects, 24,000 serviced lots and around 250,000 housing upgrades, affecting an estimated five million residents.
