| Summary: | This article reports on the results of research on a group of families participating in an
assisted self-building project that took place in Saltillo and will soon be applied in Ciudad
Juárez. The projects goal was to test the viability of a technology based on the use of
prefabricated materials, which was developed in poor neighborhoods in Saltillo using a selfbuilding
plan and a gendered perspective. The project was based on the idea that solidarity
networks, which are woven around the building of a family home, are an intangible asset that
is insufficiently served by social programs on housing, particularly, organized and assisted
self-building programs. The results consider the utility of this type of support for lowincome
sectors. |
