The president of the General Staff for the Creation of Transitional Camps, Jorge Rodríguez, reported that next week the first 200 homes for affected families will be delivered in La Guaira, as part of the relocation and accelerated construction plan ordered by the president in charge of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez.

Rodríguez pointed out that the central objective is to vacate the 90 camps installed in schools in September, through the progressive transfer of families to homes that have already been purchased, completed, rented or to temporary single-family units while the final ones are being built.

“What has to be seen with absolute certainty here is that in September the camps must be without people. Families will be moving to homes already purchased, finished, rented or to temporary housing while their final housing is being completed,” he said.

The president of the General Staff explained that 40 plots of land were identified in areas of Naiguatá, Los Caracas and a wide strip between Osma and Chuspa, selected for their location outside the areas of greatest risk and for their potential to develop a master housing plan for the entire state of La Guaira, following the instruction of the president in charge Delcy Rodríguez.

Rodríguez explained that these lands —located in flat areas, at the foot of the mountain or on plateaus suitable for flattening— total 584,000 square meters, which will allow progress in the construction of new homes both in La Guaira and in other regions of the country.

“These are lands that are not so close to the coast, but in areas that are safer and more suitable for construction. At this time, geological and capacity studies are being carried out to determine how many houses and low-level buildings can be built,” he said.

The General Staff maintains technical deployments and land assessments to define the structural capacity of each area and accelerate housing planning in prioritized areas.
