Peru: Expanding Housing Finance Through Fondo MiVivienda

WHFC

Peru’s Fondo MiVivienda, which is part of the FONAFE Corporation (National Fund for the Financing of State Business Activity) was founded in 1998, and continues offering financial products to lower-socioeconomic groups to this day. The products offered include New MiVivienda credit to finance the purchase of a new home valued between US$15,800 and US$80,000; Techo Propio, which is a loan to cover the difference between a home being built and a family’s savings; MiTerreno, which is a credit for the purchase of land being used for housing; and finally, MiProyecto, a financial product for housing developers building primarily social housing.

Fondo MiVivienda utilized a targeted and differentiated subsidy line, along with agreements with financial institutions, and access to technical support. In 2019, over 55,000 family bonds were granted, which constituted a US$410,000 million disbursement.
