Authors

Abstract

GRN has a frightful housing shortage. There is popular demand for the development of a new housing policy. Furthermore needs are greater than the economic and construction capacity to meet them. However, precise forms of access to building ground and housing for the poor masses are beginning to be found. With the elimination of speculation, builders have suffered a heavy blow. The new housing policy will be flexible and better able to meet the needs of the poor. This however will not eliminate shanty dwellings, as the investments allocated to the rehousing of displaced peasants have been used for the war against the Contra. Since 1983 the sucesses of the first few years have disappeared due to the expense of the war and the pressure and blookade exercised by the U.S.A. In 1985 MINVAH was only able to rehouse those left homeless by the war. The housing problem is getting worse.
