Peruvian government to deliver over 14,000 base bonuses of S/33,000 for home construction: requirements and how to apply for this benefit, via Techo Propio

La República reports on a significant initiative by the Peruvian Ministry of Housing, Construction, and Sanitation (MVCS) to address the country's housing deficit. The announcement of the first national call for the Techo Propio 2026 program offers a substantial opportunity for low-income families to build their own homes.

The program's core offering is a base housing bonus of S/33,000, a considerable sum aimed at facilitating home construction on existing land. La República highlights that this amount can be augmented, reaching up to S/38,610 in regions with higher construction and transport costs, and even up to S/41,250 for families with severely disabled members requiring adapted housing. The planned homes, approximately 35 square meters, will include essential features and be designed for future expansion.

Crucially, the article details the eligibility criteria and application process. Families must meet specific income ceilings (not exceeding S/2,706 monthly), demonstrate a minimum savings of S/2,475, and possess registered land free of encumbrances. Applications must be submitted through around 1,400 authorized technical entities nationwide, with the current call closing on April 24. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to improving living conditions for vulnerable populations and reducing the housing gap in Peru.
