Description Habitat for Humanity (HFH) in collaboration with the Inter-American Union for Housing (Uniapravi) organized the IV Latin American and Caribbean Forum on Housing and Habitat: Action for housing and settlements against COVID-19, a multi-actor space of the sector in the region that seeks to collectively share, reimagine and build the new reality of housing and the city. The IV Forum aimed to generate ideas to overcome the crisis in social housing and vulnerable settlements during and after COVID-19, as well as contribute to economic reactivation and social equity. It was held in virtual mode from May 17 to 21 of this year and the Executive Secretary of ECLAC, Alicia Bárcena, dedicated a few opening remarks.
