The Directorate General of Strategic and Special Projects of the Presidency (Propeep) in the Dominican Republic recently marked its 14th anniversary. Director General Robert Polanco Tejada reaffirmed the institution’s mission to reduce social gaps by bringing state services to vulnerable populations through initiatives like ‘Primero Tú’, which targets remote areas, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

Building on these social welfare goals, Propeep has implemented the ‘Un Abrazo de Esperanza’ program to improve housing conditions. The program recently delivered a fully equipped home in Santo Domingo Este to a resident previously living in a deteriorated structure. According to Polanco, the program has delivered approximately 20 homes this year, averaging one every 15 days, with plans to expand these interventions to other provinces and municipalities.
