Baja California – Mexicali 

Since 2015, Fundación Hogares has implemented urban and social regeneration actions in the area known as “Los Pueblas” in Mexicali, Baja California.

Parque del Kínder: This project was developed in the Valle de Puebla housing unit, an area marked by socio-spatial segregation and systemic violence. Its main goal was to create a public space with a soccer field, serving as a meeting point for community residents. This project has been a success for safety, promoting social interaction and developing areas for all ages.
Guerreras Unidas: This neighborhood group, formed by 20 women, emerged to address the need to eliminate prevalent gender-based violence in the housing unit. Through workshops and the creation of a women’s network, they aim to empower residents and achieve economic independence together.
“Pintemos Los Pueblas”: Over 1,700 m² of urban art was painted, improving the area’s urban image and reducing the perception of insecurity. 66% of women reported feeling safer walking through streets with murals.
Electricity Workshop: 356 hours of social participation, 7 certificates issued by ICIC.
Plumbing Workshop: 276 hours of social participation, 16 certificates issued by ICIC.
Welding Workshop: 546 hours of social participation, 16 certificates issued by ICIC.

Baja California – Tijuana 

Since 2015, Fundación Hogares has implemented urban and social regeneration actions in Tijuana, Baja California, in housing units such as Cañadas del Florido and Urbivillas del Prado (first and second sections).

Parque Lineal and community center Cañadas del Florido: One of the main needs identified by the community was the rehabilitation of a pedestrian walkway that had become a hotspot for vandalism and insecurity. The project led to the construction of a linear park and a community center in this 7,000 m² space. The project engaged 7,820 neighbors and formed a community committee to maintain the facilities.
The committee “Voces Unidas” promoted community participation initiatives to rehabilitate 18 public spaces totaling 2,013 m², with the support of Fundación Hogares. This included painting 41 murals (1,451 m²), building 17 pieces of urban furniture, collecting 3 tons of trash, and reforesting the recovered public spaces.
Parque Los Olivos: In 2023, a multipurpose space was built within the linear park Los Olivos. The 95 m² space includes a cultural area, playgrounds, communal space, changing area, boxing area, and a calisthenics module. This initiative fostered community ownership, increased recreational spaces for residents, encouraged governance actions and directly benefits 8,166 residents within a 400-meter radius.

Chihuahua – Ciudad Juárez 

Since 2021, Fundación Hogares has implemented urban and social regeneration actions in Ciudad Juárez. The area suffers from severe water stress, meeting less than 50% of the local daily demand. This situation is worsened by urban sprawl concentrated in the southern part of the city, coupled with overexploitation and contamination of the El Bolsón del Hueco by the make-up industry. As a result, all interventions in this location now incorporate a focus on sustainable water management and rainwater harvesting.

Rincones de Salvarcar and Hacienda Las Torres Universidad: The goal is to implement a strategy to improve public spaces based on participatory community planning. As part of the Aliados por la Vivienda program, the State Housing, Land, and Infrastructure Commission of Chihuahua (COESVI), together with Fundación Hogares, carried out urban and social regeneration actions in various spaces within Polygon 5 in Ciudad Juárez:
3 neighborhood committees formed
13,080 m² of public space recovered, including 1,315 m² of murals, 8 pergolas, 4 umbrellas, 12 benches, 11 picnic tables, 2 outdoor gyms, 3 playgrounds, 1 inclusive module for people with disabilities, 200 native trees and shrubs planted, 2,310 m² of nut shell mulch for soil improvement, and 1,750 linear meters of irrigation system

4 governance workshops to identify potential investments by local stakeholders, with a total of 16 participating organizations

Jalisco – Guadalajara 

The municipality of Tlajomulco faces a severe issue of uninhabited housing with 30% of its total housing being abandoned (INEGI, 2020) (ranking #1 in Mexico). In the community of the Villa de Fontana Aqua housing unit, children and youth are immersed in an environment that undermines their rights and development, as most children lack the legal documentation required to prove their Mexican nationality, hindering their access to formal education and other state services.

Current projects

Community school and dining hall: The goal is to prepare the space to ensure educational support and development for beneficiary children. Actions include expanding the classroom, providing classroom and dining hall furniture, building kitchen cabinets and fixtures, and creating a children’s play library.
