Social Housing Ordinance
Introduction
The National Housing Institute (INV) was a Spanish organization created during the Franco dictatorship on April 19, 1939 and suppressed in 1980 with the aim of promoting housing and ensuring its use.[1] During its existence, millions of protected homes were built.
During its existence it would pass through the hands of different ministries such as the Ministry of Trade Union Action and Organization, the Ministry of Labor or finally, in the 1950s, it would become part of the new Ministry of Housing.
History
The INV, created by Pedro González-Bueno, within the Ministry of Trade Union Action and Organization, had its own and autonomous legal personality to manage its assets, but years later it became part of the Trade Union Organization, then the Ministry of Labor and finally the Ministry of Housing when it was created in 1957.[1].
In its first years of existence it was under the direction of Federico Mayo Gayarre from Pamplona, a mining engineer appointed captain of Engineers during the civil war. He held the position of general director of the National Housing Institute from its foundation until his death in 1954.
Some of the most important tasks he performed were:
