Participatory Design of the Housing Improvement Program
The Participatory Design of the Housing Improvement Program refers to Committees that facilitate the collaboration of beneficiary families throughout the process. The Committees include the participation of an architect consultant who defines the constructive and spatial objectives of the work to be done. The Committees disseminate the program and advise the interested parties to carry out the necessary procedures in order to become beneficiaries. The work is carried out by self-production (the borrower receives and manages the resources directly, hires the labor force and buys the necessary building materials under supervision of the technical advisor). Once the work is completed, the consultant and the accredited person make up the final report or final settlement which verifies the final destination of the resources with the corresponding documents.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
