Puerto Rico's 2026 Housing Preservation Grant plan is now open for public review and comment, giving residents across the island a window to weigh in on how housing funds are directed.[^1]

The HPG document sits alongside a broader planning record that names outmigration and a declining population among the risks facing Puerto Rico's outlook.[^2] Those two pressures - people leaving and fewer people staying - are the kind of slow-moving facts that show up first in a housing plan before they show up anywhere else.
