In Rosario, residents of the Bauen Pilay housing program staged protests at company offices to demand accountability for decades of delayed home deliveries and unfulfilled allocations. In response, the Rosario Municipal Council unanimously approved a resolution to launch a public registry for affected families on 10 August and issued a formal request for information to the developer.

Following a reported 42% year-on-year increase in housing complaints, a new legislative proposal has been introduced to address broader housing accessibility. Councilman Leonardo Caruana proposed a social rent regime that would utilize idle, abandoned, or confiscated properties to provide affordable housing. The initiative includes a pilot program for a confiscated building containing 27 apartments, intended to be managed by the Provincial Housing Directorate under municipal regulation to assist vulnerable populations.
