About 140 families were peacefully removed from an illegal settlement on private land in La Ceiba's west sector after occupying it for over a year; the owner pursued a legal claim to recover the property.

Honduras's housing bank published 2026 financing terms for social and mid-range homes, with social housing at up to 1.2 million lempiras (about $48,000) at 4% over 30 years and mid-range homes at up to 2.5 million lempiras (about $100,000) at 7% over 30 years.

Residents of the Paseo Real del Carmen neighborhood in San Pedro Sula say they have endured two weeks of pressure and harassment from developers seeking to evict them for residential construction projects, and are calling on authorities to intervene.

The Latin American Development Bank approved $400 million to support Honduras's Comprehensive Social Housing Program, which aims to finance affordable, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable homes.

The private-sector business council says Honduras should borrow the $400 million CAF financing to strengthen the housing bank and spur construction, but opposes debt used only to cover government operating costs.

Housing Secretary Francis Argeñal says most Honduran homes are built informally without technical oversight, leaving them structurally vulnerable to earthquakes, and the government is working to promote earthquake-resistant housing standards.

Through March 2026, residential construction remained the largest component of private building activity, with increases in new homes registered in Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, and Juticalpa.
