The housing deficit in Argentina is about 3 million homes.  This deficit increases at a rate of approximately 36,000 homes per year.  Migratory movements, the limited scope of social housing programs, and morgage credit shortages are factors that influence the lack of housing in Argentina, which is compounded by the significiant increase in land prices in recent years.

Habitat Argentina promotes access to adequate housing for the most vulnerable populations.
