The Ministry of Territorial Development and Habitat (Spanish: Ministerio de Desarrollo Territorial y Hábitat; MDTyH) of Argentina was a ministry of the national executive power that oversaw and defined the Argentine state's policies on housing and habitat.
The attributions and responsibilities of the Ministry of Territorial Development and Habitat were specified in Article 23 decies of the Law of Ministries (Ley de Ministerios), published in 2019. This law stated that the ministry exists since housing is a right, as well as a necessity for the wellbeing of the population. In this vein, the Ministry was in charge of intervening in the elaboration of public policy oriented towards the development of habitat, housing and socio-urban integration, whilst attending to the diversities, demands and ways of inhabiting that manifest across the territory of Argentina.[1]
