The Tlajomulco City Council has established a working group with the purpose of promoting organized and sustainable growth, focusing on the recovery of more than 10,000 abandoned houses. Tlajomulco stands out as one of the municipalities with the highest number of vacant homes in Jalisco and throughout Mexico. Gerardo Quirino, the mayor of the locality, highlighted the importance of addressing this challenge with seriousness and coordination to create better living conditions for families.
In this initiative, which marks the beginning of the path for the recovery of houses in the municipality, entities such as the Jalisco Housing Institute, the National Chamber of Housing Jalisco, and the Institute of Planning and Management of Development of the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara are participating, along with universities and professional colleges. Once agreed upon and drafted, the project will be presented to the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum.
According to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) from the year 2020, Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco, is the municipality in Mexico with the highest number of uninhabited properties, registering more than 77,709 abandoned houses. Other locations with significant figures are Zapopan and Guadalajara in Jalisco, as well as Matamoros in Tamaulipas. At the state level, the State of Mexico leads the ranking with more than 611,159 vacant homes.
The housing recovery plan in Tlajomulco aims to tackle this problem comprehensively, with the participation of various key stakeholders. The initiative seeks to strengthen social housing and contribute to the National Housing Program, ensuring a livable and safe environment for families in the municipality.
