Information which might help

The primary objectives of INFONAVIT are:

• Providing Affordable Housing: INFONAVIT's main goal is to help formal workers access affordable housing. It does this by providing mortgage loans to eligible workers, allowing them to purchase or build a home.
• Collecting Housing Savings: Employers in Mexico are required to contribute a percentage of their employees' salaries to the INFONAVIT fund. These contributions form a savings fund for workers, which can be used as a down payment for a home.
• Granting Mortgage Loans: INFONAVIT offers mortgage loans to eligible workers, allowing them to finance the purchase of a home. The amount of the loan depends on the worker's accumulated savings and other factors such as their salary and creditworthiness.
• Offering Housing Subsidies: INFONAVIT provides housing subsidies to eligible workers, which can further reduce the cost of purchasing a home.
• Promoting Housing Development: INFONAVIT works to promote the development of housing projects and urban planning initiatives to improve housing options for workers.
