Santo Domingo, DR.
The Minister of the Presidency, Joel Santos Echavarría, received yesterday, at the National Palace, the visit of the Dominican Association of Builders and Housing Developers (Acoprovi).
During the meeting, Santos Echavarría highlighted the importance of developers for constructing low-cost housing, especially those aimed at beneficiaries of the National Plan of Happy Family Housing.
“It is important to continue encouraging the participation of developers and promoters in the construction of low-cost housing, due to the importance that the development of this type of housing has for the Dominican Republic,” he said.

The official indicated that the State provides the general infrastructure guidelines for the project, and the developers carry out the internal construction.
