SANTO DOMINGO– President Luis Abinader presided over the distribution of 1,279 property titles to families in various communities across the country last Saturday. According to the President's office, 6,395 people benefited from this measure, which also cited legal security, improved family living conditions, and a reduction in social inequality as advantages.
During the event, held in the municipality of Haina, the president highlighted that more than 700 of the titles delivered correspond to residents of this area, while the other beneficiaries come from communities such as Jardines de Gautier, Villa Altagracia, Los Alcarrizos, Los Frailes, Los Mameyes, Maquiteria, Los Minas and Brisas de las Américas.
He stated that the land titling program is one of the most transformative initiatives promoted by his administration, due to the direct impact it has on the lives of thousands of Dominican families.
He explained that the delivery of these documents provides legal security, peace of mind and stability to the beneficiaries, who become legal owners of the land and homes they have occupied for years.
The head of state also highlighted the special significance of the event, given that it took place on the eve of Mother's Day. He noted that the majority of those receiving the awards are women, and therefore considered the ceremony a way to recognize, honor, and provide greater peace of mind to Dominican mothers.
“When a property title is handed over, security and hope are also given. From today onward, these families have an asset that increases in value, allows them to access formal credit, expand their homes, start businesses, and guarantee a better future for their children,” the president stated.
He also highlighted that formalizing property ownership significantly increases the value of real estate and opens up new economic opportunities for the beneficiary families, allowing them to access bank financing and conduct transactions legally and securely.
