Year 4, Volume 1: Luján: Building Neighborhoods

The Luján Office is working on their next initiative called the Neighborhood by Neighborhood Project. This is the first project where HFHA is attempting to improve the environment of a whole neighborhood.

The objective of Neighborhood by Neighborhood Project is to improve the living conditions of the 100 families who live in the Barrio San Cayetano and Padre Varela neighborhoods. Because these two neighborhoods have the greatest need in the Luján area, this project will consist of loans in kind and housing solutions tailored to meet the specific necessity of each household. Some of the solutions that will be addressed are Obtaining Legalized Land Titles, Loans for Improvements and House with Land. At the same time HFHA´s aim is to generate interest in the continued development of the neighborhoods of Barrio San Cayetano and Padre Varela by encouraging the participation by families and institutions in the area to build community consciousness which includes the creation of community green areas.

The Neighborhood by Neighborhood Project aims to help those low income families who live in Barrio San Cayetano and Padre Varela neighborhoods in Luján and suffer difficult living conditions and who are looking for a final solution either in the form of a complete housing solution, a progressive house, or with legalization of their land.
