After the official announcement of the dissolution of the program and because in this province the construction of 3,100 housing units was halfway done, the Tucumán president first and provided the Nation with a solution that could be taken as an example by other leaders.
On Tuesday the 12th the disappearance of the Public Trust Fund called Argentine Bicentennial Credit Program for Single Family Housing (PROCREAR) and the next day it was made official. Since then the alarms went off in Tucumán due to the Procrear mega project, which involves the construction of 3,100 housing units, between towers and houses, in the southern area of San Miguel de Tucumán.
The work started in June 2023 and was paralyzed in December, after the pruning of state resources for public works implemented by the president Javier Mileiso they register an advance of 15%. Since then, the 20 companies only carry out custodial tasks on the 100-hectare property to prevent theft.

Given this, the Tucumán Chamber of Construction (CTC), as reported by Ámbito, had announced that it would unilaterally terminate the contracts, with a demand for lost profits and late payments of works certificates, which would activate a labyrinth of actions. judicial proceedings and the neighborhood would run the risk of not coming to fruition.

The one who also gave his opinion on the decision, consulted by this means, was the businessman Jorge Garberpresident of the CTC. “For Tucumán it is a huge step that was taken because It is the largest Procrear venture in the country that will generate 6,000 direct jobsplus a similar figure in indirect jobs, because there are 3,100 houses that will contribute to covering the housing deficit in our province.” Asked about the first concrete steps that will be taken, he reported that starting Tuesday of next week there will be a custody shared (businessmen and provincial government) of the works and that same day a working group will be established, together with the technicians of the Ministries of Public Works and Economy of the Tucumán government, to design a plan for the advancement of the works.
