Serviu intensifies social housing inspections in Magallanes

The Housing and Urbanization Service (Serviu) has intensified inspections of social housing projects in the Magallanes region of Chile. The oversight process aims to verify that the properties are being occupied by the intended beneficiary families and to identify instances where homes are being illegally rented or transferred to third parties.

Serviu officials stated that these inspections are part of a permanent effort to ensure state housing benefits are used correctly. If irregularities are discovered, administrative procedures may be initiated, which could lead to the cancellation of subsidies and the recovery of the properties by the state. The agency also emphasized the importance of community reports from neighbors to assist in detecting unauthorized use of these homes.
