| Popis: | This thesis analyzes Techo Propio, Peru’s leading affordable housing program for the last 20 years. Following the neoliberal turn in housing policies, the Peruvian government reduced its role to solely subsidizing the low-income housing demand while housing production and delivery was left entirely in the hands of the real-estate industry. We specifically analyze the component Construcción en Sitio Propio (CSP), which fully subsidizes the construction of 35 m2-houses in family-owned lots. Given the limited information and studies available on this subprogram, we were keen to understand how CSP is currently being implemented and, especially, how subsidies are allocated to families and what are the city-wide implications. Through a combination of spatial analysis and in-depth interviews with diverse actors in the Techo Propio ecosystem, this thesis elucidates the housing allocation process as it is being implemented, beyond the official narrative. Our findings identify which families actually become beneficiaries and the spatial consequences of this model at the neighborhood, city, and national scales. We hope our findings and conclusions can help reflect on potential improvements for this and similar programs, and ultimately contribute to discussions on the roles the public and private sectors should have in the provision of affordable housing across Latin America.
