Misión Hábitat ("Mission Habitat") is a Venezuelan Bolivarian Mission that has as its goal the construction of thousands of new housing units for the poor. The program also seeks to develop agreeable and integrated housing zones that make available a full range of social services from education to healthcare which likens its vision to that of New Urbanism.[1][2]

According to Venezuela's El Universal, one of the Chávez administration's outstanding weaknesses is the failure to meet its goals of construction of housing. Chávez promised to build 150,000 houses in 2006, but in the first half of the year, completed only 24 percent of that target, with 35,000 houses.[3] In 2013, the Venezuelan government also failed to complete nearly 50% of projected homes and in 2014, failed to complete 70% of its target.[4]
