Ministerio De Vivienda, Ciudad Y Territorio

What Ministerio De Vivienda, Ciudad Y Territorio does

Ministerio de Vivienda, Ciudad y Territorio is the national government ministry of Colombia responsible for housing policy, urban development, water provision, and basic sanitation across the country. Operating under the executive branch of President Gustavo Petro's administration, the ministry is headquartered in Bogotá (La Botica – Casa Imprenta, Carrera 6 # 8-77) with a citizen-attention office at Calle 17 No. 9-36, and serves all Colombian citizens, territorial entities (municipalities and districts), and water/sanitation service providers as its constituents. Its core functional remit includes coordinating the Mi Casa Ya housing subsidy program, administering housing improvement (Mejoramiento de Vivienda) and rural housing (Vivienda Rural — Nuestro Hábitat Biodiverso) initiatives, providing technical assistance for territorial planning (POT/PBOT formulation and revision), and implementing settlement regularization and high-risk settlement inventory (IAZAR) programs.

The ministry operates two vice-ministries (Viceministerio de Vivienda and Viceministerio de Agua y Saneamiento Básico) and is supported by FONVIVIENDA (Fondo Nacional de Vivienda) as a wholly-owned operating entity managing national housing funds. Its technology stack is a portfolio of web-based public-sector platforms rather than a unified commercial product: the primary institutional portal (minvivienda.gov.co), the SPG Integrated Management System portal, the PEyC emergency/contingency platform for water and sanitation service providers, the Portal Conocimiento for technical knowledge dissemination, and Bizagi/BPM-based workflow applications supporting territorial entity services (asentamientos, ordenamiento territorial). No public APIs, SDKs, or developer portals are documented.

The entity is funded through annual national budget appropriations rather than commercial revenue; pricing is not applicable. Distribution of services occurs via the official website, in-person citizen-service offices, and direct technical assistance to municipal and district governments. Leadership comprises Ministra Helga María Rivas Ardila (appointed 2024) and Ruth Maritza Quevedo Fique (acting minister from July 23, 2026). The ministry maintains an ecosystem of core partnerships with FINDETER, FNA, CRA, and Superservicios, alongside numerous sector associations (CAMACOL, ANDESCO, ASOBANCARIA, ACOPLASTICOS, among others).
