Governor Marina del Pilar announced Wednesday that Baja California’s State Housing Plan (PEV) has surpassed 90,000 housing actions across the state’s seven municipalities, placing the administration within reach of its 100,000-home goal with nearly a year left in her term.
“Today, thousands of Baja California families are achieving their dream of homeownership. We’re not just building houses. We’re building dreams and transforming lives,” Governor Marina del Pilar said.
The program, designed to combat the state’s high housing costs, has resulted in over 24,000 completed homes with another 65,000 units currently in development across all seven municipalities. The initiative specifically targets historically underserved communities.
The program’s impact is most visible in Tijuana, where over 41,000 housing actions have been certified, followed by Mexicali with 30,000 and Ensenada with 10,480 units. The governor credited the plan’s success to innovative approaches that address the state’s challenging real estate market.
The housing plan employs multiple strategies including social self-production, recovered housing, and both vertical and horizontal development projects. Additional regularization and titling programs provide legal security for new homeowners.
The state government’s goal is to reach 100,000 housing actions before the end of the administration, a target that is now only 10% away from being met.
“Reaching over 90,000 housing actions in just four years demonstrates what’s possible through careful planning and commitment to our communities. This isn’t magic. It’s the result of dedicated work,” the governor said.
A notable achievement highlighted by the administration is that 47% of the homes have been acquired by women, many of them single heads of household. This success is largely attributed to specialized programs like “Mujeres al Volante,” “Vivienda Violeta,” and “Tarjeta Violeta” demonstrating that housing access represents both equality and social justice in action.
