communal housing Explanation: I'm not sure of hostel, since in my mind this brings up the idea of accommodation for travelers, but it is a form of mass housing where anywhere from a few dozen to multiple dozens (I've seen examples of up to 76 families) live in what almost seems like housing projects, looking at pictures they seem like blocks of large apartment complexes for low income housing |

(Foto: Cortesía) Como parte del proyecto Mejoramiento de Barrios, unas 76 familias que residen en las villas comunitarias Don Bosco, Nazareno y Divino Niño, ubicadas en calle 11 y media del corregimiento de Río Abajo, recibirán hoy certificados que los acreditan como propietarios de estas soluciones de vivienda. Con la entrega de la rehabilitación total de la villa comunitaria Divino Niño, el Ministerio de Vivienda culmina un proceso de mejoramiento de inmuebles en esta calle, que inició con la villa Don Bosco y siguió en la villa Nazareno, en beneficio de aproximadamente unas 400 personas. http://portal.critica.com.pa/archivo/08032007/com02.html |
