SALAZAR-CANTU, José de Jesús; HUSTED, Bryan W.; GUTIERREZ-GARZA, Esthela  and  ACUNA-ASKAR, Karim. Micro-financing for progressive housing in Mexico: evaluation of the social effects of Patrimonio Hoy in Zinacantepec, State of Mexico. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.35, pp.225-251.

By means of the statistical comparison of wellbeing characteristics for two groups of households in the municipality of Zinacantepec, State of Mexico, in this work we analyze the reach of the social objectives of a social responsibility program managed by the enterprise Cementos Mexicanos (Cemex). The results establish that, on the one side the users of this program build larger houses, with more rooms and faster than their non-participant neighbors, and on the other, some social objectives of the program have not been reached yet.

Keywords : social responsibility of the company; development; housing self-construction; urban zone.
