The municipality of Huixquilucan has engaged in various social and cultural initiatives under the administration of Mayor Romina Contreras.

In October 2026, the municipality received the ALMA 2026 International Prize in the ‘Promoter of Culture and Art’ category. This recognition was awarded for the ‘Huixquilucan con Arte’ program, which utilizes murals and sculptures to address themes such as environmental care and gender violence prevention.

Following this recognition, the local government announced the allocation of 44.8 million pesos toward social support programs. These funds are directed at two main initiatives: the ‘Monedero Electrónico’ (Electronic Wallet) program, which supports 7,000 families, and ‘Becas Municipales’ (Municipal Scholarships), which assists 8,500 students to help reduce school dropout rates.
