Recent rains have left many Peruvian families in a vulnerable situation, with their homes damaged or even destroyed. In response to this emergency, the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (MVCS) has announced the availability of the Housing Lease Bond for Emergencies (BAE), also known as ‘rain bonus’, which provides monthly financial aid of S/500.
This subsidy will be available in March and is intended for families whose homes have been declared uninhabitable or collapsed, allowing them to rent a safe place to live. Below, we detail the steps to follow to receive it and the requirements.
What is the Housing Leasing Bonus for Emergencies (BAE)?
The BAE is an initiative of the MVCS and the Mivivienda Fund (FMV), which provides financial support of S/500 per month to families affected by natural disasters or human actions that have left their homes in uninhabitable conditions.
This voucher aims to facilitate the rental of a home with basic services for a maximum period of two years, thus ensuring a safe roof for those affected while they recover from adversity.
What are the steps to follow to access the S/500 BAE bonus?
To begin the process of obtaining the BAE bonus, local governments must send the records of the affected families to the MVCS, which will be uploaded to the National Information System for Response and Rehabilitation (Sinpad) of the National Civil Defense Institute (Indeci). These records must detail the number of homes affected, what the damage is, and information on the families involved.
After verification of these data by the MVCS, a ministerial resolution will be issued that will summon the potential beneficiaries, specifying the corresponding locations and deadlines. The selected families will then have 10 days to find suitable housing and rent it with the voucher.
Rain bonus: what are the requirements?
To be eligible for the BAE bonus, families must meet two essential requirements:
- The previously inhabited home must be declared uninhabitable or destroyed.
- The property to be rented must be located in a safe area.
It is important that families affected by the rains are aware of these requirements and follow the steps indicated to access this crucial economic support in these difficult times.
BAE Bonus: if you are a beneficiary, what documents must you present?
Potential beneficiaries must comply with the following procedure within 30 business days:
- Submit the application to receive the Emergency Leasing Bonus.
- Submit a sworn statement confirming that you do not own another home apart from the one affected.
- Sign and legalize a rental contract with the owner. Alternatively, an affidavit from the parties to the contract, noting the financial hardship, may be provided to legalize the signatures.
- These documents will be available for download on the website of the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation, accessible through the following LINK.
