On 19 September 1985 Mexico City and the provinces along the Pacific coast were hit by a strong earthquake which left over 5,000 people dead and hundreds of thousands homeless. The rehousing of survivors was and remains the most imperative problem, since almost 100,000 persons are still living in temporary shelters.
