President Luis Abinader named Carlos Alberto Bonilla Sánchez the first Minister of Housing, Habitat and Buildings (Mivhed). The new ministry consolidates the former Office of Supervisory Works of the Presidency (Oisoe) and the National Housing Institute (Invi). At the time of his appointment, Bonilla was the head of the Invi.
Law 160-21, enacted by the Executive Power on 1 August 2021, created the Mivhed while closing the Invi and Oisoe as separate state agencies.
The Mivhed will establish the policies, principles, programs, planning, strategies and instruments in matters of housing, habitat, decent human settlements, construction of buildings of the Dominican state, as well as the facilities that are necessary for the general interest of the nation.
Juan Luis Julia Calac, Ernesto Orlando Mejía Mazara, Vivian Reyes Roca, Danny Israel Santos Comprés, Ney Rafael García Rodríguez and Eduardo Guarionex Estrella Cruz were appointed deputy ministers of the Mivhed.
