The Chávez administration sought to address urgent demands in housing with the rapid construction of low-cost homes that would be allocated to disaster victims.

Not all of these projects were completed in the timely manner that might be expected. Some were occupied by residents before building had concluded. Below you can see images of the unfinished neighbourhoods that we visited in 2016.
