Mexico to give 400,000 pesos to families who lost homes in Hidalgo
Mexico is providing aid to families hit by monsoon-trough flooding in Hidalgo.
The disaster affected 105,000 families across five states, including many in remote communities.
Families who lost their homes completely will receive 400,000 pesos each, on top of support already provided.
The state governor said 2,250 families in Hidalgo qualify for this housing support, worth more than 900 million pesos.
Recovery work includes rebuilding roads, bridges and water systems damaged by the flooding.
The national and state governments say they have committed more than 11 billion pesos to emergency aid and reconstruction.
Payments will come in three installments, with inspections starting in January to check how the money is used.
Mexico will provide 400,000 pesos to each Hidalgo family whose home was completely lost in the 2025 rains and floods.
The funds are intended to help families rebuild, and they may choose where to build their homes.
The money will be paid in three installments and added to support already received.
About 35,000 families in Hidalgo were affected, while about 105,000 families were affected across five states.
The government said close to 8 billion pesos has been allocated to address the impact in Hidalgo.
