New Phase for Casa Cuna-Casa Hogar in Vizcaíno with 46.2 Million Pesos Investment

Overview of the Project

The Casa Cuna-Casa Hogar in Vizcaíno, located in the municipality of Mulegé, has officially entered its second phase of construction, with an additional investment of 20 million pesos. This new funding brings the total investment for the project to 46.2 million pesos, as reported by the Secretariat of Urban Planning, Infrastructure, Mobility, Environment, and Natural Resources (SEPUIMM).

The facility is designed to provide accommodation, protection, and care for children, adolescents, and young people in vulnerable situations, in collaboration with the State DIF System. This initiative reflects a significant commitment to social welfare in the region, aiming to create a safe haven for those in need.

First Phase Achievements

During the first phase of the project, a total of 26.2 million pesos was invested to construct the main areas of the building. The completed works included dormitories, a kitchen, a lactation room, a dining area, and service areas. Additionally, a perimeter wall measuring 180 meters and a cistern with a capacity of 90,000 liters were also built.

The completion of these essential facilities marks a critical step in establishing a supportive environment for the youth who will reside there. As the project progresses, the focus shifts to finalizing the interior finishes and creating specialized spaces for the care of the residents.

Upcoming Developments

The second phase will focus on completing the remaining areas, which include the director's office, a medical consultation room, social work, psychology, and legal areas, as well as a reception and meeting room. A significant addition will be the installation of a Gesell chamber, a space primarily used for conducting interviews and observations in conditions that protect the privacy of children and adolescents.

Furthermore, the investment will also cover the installation of fire safety systems, video surveillance, voice and data networks, and a gas network, along with an electrical substation. Signage will be installed both inside and outside the facility, and walkways will be constructed to connect the various areas of the complex.

Carolina Armenta Cervantes, the head of SEPUIMM, emphasized the importance of overseeing the execution of the project to ensure that the facilities meet the necessary conditions for the future users.

"We will monitor the construction to ensure that the installations comply with the expected standards for the care of the children and adolescents who will benefit from this project,"

she stated.

This initiative not only represents a significant investment in infrastructure but also highlights the commitment of local authorities to improve the living conditions of vulnerable populations in Baja California Sur.
