Habitat for Humanity Argentina has developed and is implementing the Legal Literacy Project, an educational course which covers the different legal aspects related to the acquisition, legalization and protection of properties.
The program is aimed at supporting families, helping them sort the various obstacles encountered at the moment of legalizing or regularizing the documentation of their land or property, and informing them of the various aspects of buying land or properties solely with legal deeds.
The workshops are open to the community, and include both group and individual activities. "Legal Literacy Manuals" were designed, and are given to the families together with special folders in which to keep important property documents.

Professional volunteers have helped in the planning and leadership of the workshops, and it is their enthusiastic commitment which enables the continuity of these workshops in each community.
Families use these workshops so:
- They know their rights and avoid being swindled.
- They recognize their particular problems and take appropriate action.
- They know where to ask for advice.
- They can own their property legally.
