Patrimonio Hoy

Lead partner: CEMEX México

Using its expertise and network, CEMEX is helping underprivileged Mexican families realise their home-owning ambitions.

As part of its social responsibility strategy, CEMEX developed Patrimonio Hoy. This initiative, conceived in 1998, aims to reduce the Mexican housing deficit which leaves more than 20 million people with inadequate shelter. Patrimonio Hoy organizes low-income families into self-financing cells that facilitate and expedite the typical home-building process. CEMEX and its network provide the products needed but also the technical assistance, including an architect who helps design homes to optimize space and reduce waste. To date, more than 70,000 Mexican families have realized their dreams of home ownership.
