There is a sad reality that we cannot ignore any longer: How difficult it is to be young in Mexico! We hear all the time that Mexico is a country of young people, that our future is in their hands, that we must open spaces for participation. But the reality is that not only have we not generated them, but we have concentrated in them the great inequalities that we experience in the country. For our young people, acquiring a home near their workplaces is practically impossible. This forces them to move to peri-urban areas where they are stigmatized; The vast majority are singled out for where they live and, if it is a dangerous area, they are even criminalized. They are forced to live far from their families and make long journeys daily on public transportation. This is not a minor problem since, by the year 2030, 60% of the inhabitants of our cities will be, precisely, young. House via What future are we building for them? What country and what cities will we inherit from them? Faced with this panorama, President Enrique Peña Nieto decided to implement the Housing for Youth program, which was added to other strategies designed for other sectors such as, for example, heads of households, the indigenous population and migrants.
The success of this program is indisputable. In the last administration, only young people had access to housing. Now, in the four years of the America Mobile Number List current Government of the Republic, the figure has increased to . This is due, first of all, to the fact that for the first time our country has a specific program with clear rules to benefit young Mexicans who, otherwise, would have no other possibility of getting a home. I give as an example the state of Durango where, thanks to the collaboration between the Secretariat under my charge, the Secretariat of Social Development the National Housing Commission the Mexican Youth Institute (IMJUVE) and the Commission State Land and Housing entity, we launched the “Young Housing, My First Home” program. Thanks to this initiative, where the Governments of the Republic and the state were able to work hand in hand, we delivered 350 homes to young people who have children and who, thanks to this support, can continue with their professional or middle-higher level studies, to aspire to a better standard of living. These houses, it should be noted, have a surface area of 45 square meters, have two bedrooms—because in this administration we decisively combat overcrowding—a bathroom and even a parking space. The boys who benefited from the program pay only 1,500 pesos per month for a period of ten years.
The rest of the cost is covered by subsidies provided by SEDATU and IMJUVE. In addition to this program, thanks to resources from and , the Government of the Republic supports so that young people are subject to credit to be able to obtain decent housing, thereby fulfilling the commitment made by President Peña with this sector of our population. It is these programs, which did not exist before President Peña's administration, that will allow our young people to break barriers and build their own success stories. Mexico is one of the greatest drivers of the New Urban Agenda, which should result in inclusive, innovative, compact, safe and resilient cities. However, this process must occur with young people. We cannot, for any reason, exclude them from the process of design, planning and construction of cities, since they will be the ones who will populate and enjoy them. Offering them the possibility of having decent housing is a first step to integrate them into national development and to exercise their Right to the City. This is fair and it is the path outlined by President Peña Nieto.
