López Obrador's reform of Infonavit revives the desire for accessible housing for workers. The president proposes that the Housing Institute become a builder and put houses for rent at low prices.

Specialists warn that the benefits of the initiative would only reach salaried and independent employees, and would leave out millions of workers in the informal sector. The initiative recognizes that housing is a factor that reduces inequalities, in addition to providing security, strengthening social cohesion and triggering economic activity.
