Subsidies the Government will provide in 2025

Housing Subsidies

The Government has introduced programs to make it easier to purchase and improve housing, including the following:

Subsidio Familiar de Vivienda Nueva: This program provides financial assistance to purchase a new home, especially for households with incomes of up to 2 current legal monthly minimum wages (SMMLV). Beneficiaries can receive up to 30 SMMLV, equivalent to $42,705,000 Colombian pesos. For households with incomes between 2 and 4 SMMLV, the subsidy is reduced to a maximum of 20 SMMLV, or $28,470,000 COP. This enables more families to access housing that fits their financial circumstances.

District programs in Bogotá: The Secretaría Distrital del Hábitat offers several initiatives, such as “Oferta Preferente,” “Reactiva tu Compra” and “Reduce tu Cuota.” A total of 16,000 subsidies will be available in 2025. For example, “Reduce tu Cuota” offers a subsidy of up to 14 SMMLV, distributed over 48 monthly installments, to make mortgage payments more affordable.

How can you find out if you are a beneficiary?

To benefit from the Subsidio Familiar de Vivienda Nueva, applicants must meet the stated requirements and apply through authorized financial institutions or family compensation funds. It is essential for citizens to know how to access these resources.

For Bogotá's district programs, citizens can find out whether they are beneficiaries and what specific requirements apply by visiting the official Secretaría Distrital del Hábitat website. Staying informed is key to making the most of these opportunities.

Renta Ciudadana

This program, administered by the DPS (Departamento para la Prosperidad Social, the Department for Social Prosperity), aims to provide cash transfers to households living in extreme or moderate poverty, according to their Sisbén IV classification. Transfers can be as high as 500,000 pesos and benefit approximately two million households across the country. This support aims to ease economic hardship and improve stability for the most vulnerable households.

Devolución del IVA (VAT Refund)

The Devolución del IVA (VAT Refund) program aims to reduce the impact of the tax on lower-income households. For 2025, the subsidy amount is set at 106,000 pesos per household, distributed across three annual payment cycles. This measure is part of a broader effort to ease the financial burden on families facing financial difficulties.

Ingreso Mínimo Garantizado (IMG) in Bogotá

Bogotá’s Ingreso Mínimo Garantizado (IMG) (Guaranteed Minimum Income) strategy makes payments through different components, combining conditional and unconditional cash transfers. In 2025, households classified in groups A or B of Sisbén IV are eligible for this benefit. The program aims to ensure that residents have a minimum income to cover basic needs and improve their quality of life.

Access to Information

It is essential for residents to keep their information up to date in Sisbén, as this determines their eligibility for various subsidies. They can update their information at Sisbén offices or through the online channels made available by the Government. They should also check the programs’ official websites regularly to stay informed about updates and possible changes to the requirements.

Why Subsidies Matter

These subsidies are an essential tool for combating poverty and reducing inequality in Colombia. By facilitating access to adequate housing, improving the economic circumstances of vulnerable households, and providing help with living costs, the Government aims to promote the country’s social and economic development.

In addition, implementing these programs demonstrates the Colombian Government’s commitment to addressing residents’ needs and ensuring the well-being of all. Each subsidy is a step toward building a more equitable society.

Recommendations for Applicants

  • Stay informed about the requirements and procedures for accessing subsidies.
  • Keep your information up to date in Sisbén to ensure you remain eligible.
  • Contact the relevant agencies if you have questions about the application process.
  • Check each program’s official website for updates so you can stay informed about any changes or new offerings.

The effectiveness of these subsidies depends not only on their implementation but also on residents’ active participation in the process of accessing them. It is essential for every Colombian to know their rights and how to claim these benefits, so they can improve their living conditions and contribute to the country’s collective development.

In this way, the subsidies offered by the Government in 2025 represent a valuable opportunity for those who need them most, paving the way for social inclusion and the overall well-being of Colombia’s population.
