This  strategic alliance is established as a platform for developing projects aimed at improving access to dignified housing and promoting inclusive housing solutions.

This commitment demonstrates that, by joining efforts, it is possible to move towards a country without a housing deficit."

We are very pleased with the collaborative work we have been building to ensure that all families in Chile have a dignified home," said Juan Carlos Corvalán, Sustainability and Compliance Manager at Sodimac.

Through this agreement, Déficit Cero and Sodimac reaffirm their commitment to building a more equitable future, highlighting the need for strategic alliances to effectively address the housing crisis in Chile.
