Guantanamo.- Specialists from the Institute of Territorial Planning and Urbanism (INOTU) in the province of Guantánamo are visiting neighborhoods within the People’s Councils on the last Tuesdays and Thursdays of each month to facilitate procedures that residents would otherwise need to complete at the institution’s headquarters.
Likewise, interested individuals may still benefit from Agreement 8574, which, although originally set to expire in December, was granted an extension to support those who built their homes through personal effort without full legal compliance and who are now able to formalize their status.
The process of legalizing homes, land, and other properties—managed by professionals from the Institute of Territorial Planning and Urbanism directly within communities—has streamlined administrative procedures. This has contributed to its strong public acceptance, according to Mariela Carballo, President of the El Caribe People’s Council.
The initiative also includes on-site home visits for cases that require it, as well as the collection of public complaints. This approach fosters closer engagement between institutional representatives and the community’s concerns and needs.
