The Venezuelan minister of habitat and housing has announced the government is planning to fund the "Great Mission for Venezuela Housing", an initiative to make quality housing more accessible to the homeless, using the national cryptocurrency petro. The president has authorised a budget of $750,000, as well as 909,000 petros, for the new homes. More than two million houses have been built to date. The heavy inflation of the Venezuelan bolivar has meant that petro creates a "protective shield" for house construction.
