D.S.49 also gives greater importance to social services provided to households to help them become familiar with the tasks and responsibilities related to owning a house. These entities were first introduced with the shift to demand-side support around the year 2002, the EGIS prepared the construction projects, found the land, organized eligible families and submitted the funding application to the ministry. Over time, they acquired considerable market power, there were also reports of families not being attended, incomplete projects and misappropriation of the equity contribution of the eligible families. The 2011 reforms changed radically the application process to address some of these issues, basically splitting the households’ application from the application of development projects and allowing household to apply without a project.
