A Minvu vision and patience, companies used a mechanism that allowed them to build buildings under this rating, representing an excellent deal: designing towers''normal'', with less parking than is required regularly, getting tax breaks and selling prices for anything social.

Hundreds of residents of the commune of Santiago living in social housing. It is paradoxical that do not know. Who obviously do know are the property responsible for the construction of buildings and, based on a legal loophole made possible a profitable business without much effort is spent to build social housing, yes that "normal" prices.

The void that took refuge was due to a modification in June 2001 when the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (Minvu), whose head was Jaime Ravinet (DC) amended the definition of "social housing" associated with "affordable housing" in the General Ordinance of the General Law Urban Planning and Construction, with the elimination-by decree, of "housing for solving the housing problems of marginality," which also increased its appraised value up to 520 UF 400 UF.

In this way, towers were built in the center of the city in the form of "social housing" that freed the owners of the projects to build parking lots for vehicles required by regulation of the Regulatory Plan of the Municipality of Santiago and also allowed them to obtain tax advantages.

However, in practice the construction of social had nothing except the small size, which even at 26 m2, and its appraised value and not exceeding the minimum 520 UF fall within this category, but then were sold by values \u200b\u200branging between 800 and UF UF 2000, which makes it clear that their destination was not exactly solve the housing problems of marginalization.

Minvu Responsibility
Darts of those who denounced the situation "Defend the City Foundation and Senator Nelson Ávila (PRSD) - point to Minvu, at that point considered as responsible for social housing properties that ultimately are not. And parallel to exert pressure on the Departments of Municipal Works of Santiago.

is not less than the mayor of Santiago, Raúl Alcaíno, sent a letter to the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Patricia Poblete, in May 2007, which referred to the increase experienced in the construction of condos " social housing ", which in his opinion impaired the quality of life for residents.

also stressed that meet the requirements of the Municipal Works Department to certify the quality of social housing in various constructions, the Urban Development Division Minvu was "emphatic" in their instructions, stressing the need to comply "strictly to the provisions and procedures in the General Urban Development and Construction, for such certification upon request must certify that capacity at any time in handling a project. "

Moreover, the mayor claimed that the modifications made to the General Ordinance, "gives greater flexibility with building projects to build units extremely small housing, ultimately encouraging a disproportionate increase in density.

brake the front of the state comptroller, the comptroller reported by Avila and defend the City, the court ruled in his favor on 21 December, explaining that specified in the special category called "social housing", it sought to tackle the housing problems suffered by the poorest sectors of the population, work assigned to Minvu, which "must enforce each and every one of the requirements required by law to consider as social housing, including that intended for the solution housing marginality.

In this sense, explained that the draft law that fails to consider the role that social housing must meet in terms of housing marginality, "has had the power to eliminate that requirement."

Moreover, the document details the requirements for certifying that a property can be classified as social housing, among whom are counted it is designed precisely to solve the housing problems of marginality and its appraised value does not exceed 400 UF, except in the case of condominium housing, in which case it may be increased by 30% (520 UF).

In this regard, the Comptroller specified that "the directors of construction work shall verify compliance with every one of the requirements mentioned in the body of this office to certify the fact that a particular property has the character of social housing ... The above shall apply to all proceedings conducted after the date of this statement to object that acquired rights are not affected. "
