The Regional Ministerial Secretariat of Housing and Urbanism of La Araucanía has called for subsidy applications for the Housing and Neighborhood Improvement Program for social housing condominiums more than ten years old, through Exempt Resolution No. 671, dated July 21, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Chile No. 44,532 on August 24, 2026.
