Priority interest housing units, also known as VIP projects, differ from other properties as they are intended for social classes characterized by having below-average economic income, specifically, families who earn less than two minimum monthly salaries and face difficulties accessing basic resources.
These priority interest housing units are projects designed by the National Government in collaboration with private entrepreneurs, most notably construction companies.
What is the difference between a VIS Project and a VIP Project?
A VIS Project refers to social interest housing. Its characteristics almost entirely coincide with priority interest housing, but they differ based on the accessibility of resources. In this sense, VIS are aimed at the sector of the population with generally scarce resources, while VIP are focused on those living in precarious conditions of extreme poverty.
Who can apply for priority interest housing?
Families interested in this type of property must meet the following conditions:
- Living in low socioeconomic conditions.
- Having an income less than or equal to two current legal minimum salaries.
- No member of the household must be affiliated with a family compensation fund.
- No family member can be a homeowner, nor have previously received the benefit of the Family Housing Subsidy from the government.
- Not having been a beneficiary of the Interest Rate Subsidy.
