FOVISSSTE Resumes Building Homes and Lays First Stone for Puebla Pilot

The move signals a shift to direct construction and peso‑denominated fixed payments designed to cut the risk of unpayable loans for low‑income state workers.

Overview

  • Officials placed the first stone for the Conjunto Habitacional Carmen Serdán on July 29, 2026, a Puebla pilot of 32 four‑level buildings with 512 apartments costing about 305 million pesos and expected to finish in 12–14 months.
  • The federal program sets a national target to build 100,000 FOVISSSTE homes with at least 60 billion pesos in investment as part of the Vivienda para el Bienestar agenda.
  • FOVISSSTE said registration will open soon for active and retired state workers earning up to two minimum wages to apply for housing under new credits issued in pesos with fixed monthly payments.
  • New developments will include on‑site services such as SuperISSSTE stores, ISSSTE primary care consultorios and sports and recreation areas, and the Puebla site at La Ciénega was recovered through negotiated agreements with prior occupants.
  • Authorities framed the relaunch as a reversal of a 34‑year mortgage‑only model that produced onerous debts and said the program will be coordinated with SEDATU, CONAVI and Infonavit and replicated to other states such as Morelos.
