Gov. Jenniffer González Colón delivered 27 property titles to families in the Brisas de la Sierra Project in Comerío on Thursday, ending a wait of up to 15 years for ownership of their homes.
In addition, the governor announced the elimination of the $15,000 mortgage lien on the homes, representing a $105 monthly relief for each family for the next 15 years.
Brisas de la Sierra, located in the Palomas neighborhood, is home to families from the Los 26, Villa Brava, and Cielito communities, who have been demanding legalization of their properties for years.
The event was attended by Comerío Mayor Irving Rivera González; Astrid Piñeiro Vázquez, executive director of the Office for Socioeconomic and Community Development (ODSEC); and legislative and municipal leaders. Lillian Fontánez, a resident of Brisas de la Sierra, was recognized for her efforts in obtaining the titles.
The said the effort is part of a strategy to expedite the issuance of titles throughout the island, in coordination with ODSEC, the La Fortaleza Chief of Staff’s Office, and the Permit Management Office.
