Housing and Habitat Committees
The Housing and Habitat Committees are a space within each Communal Council to give impetus to the Plan for the Integral Transformation of Habitat and the Environment. Their main functions are to implement the policies provided for in said Plan, as well as coordinating with other committees to carry out the construction of housing. Among its priorities are the promotion of participation and assisting the most disadvantaged sectors with regards to the right to housing. Under its competence, the so-called Socialist Labor Brigades is also formed, voluntary work groups that support the Committee in housing construction.

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
