Starting in 2009, the Minha casa, Minha vida program was created to facilitate the acquisition of housing for low-income families and solve the country's housing deficit.
Current status of the program
The program was reformulated in the government of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and received the name of “Casa Verde e Amarelo”, where the allocated resources suffered drastic reductions. In the budget proposal for the year 2023, for example, the program would have 95% of its budget cut.
With the reformulation of the program for “Casa Verde e Amarelo”, many houses from Minha casa, Minha vida were no longer given to families, as they did not fit the program's new norms.
“Our proposal to resume the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program, in addition to returning to serving low-income families, whose assistance has been abandoned since 2016, also foresees improving the program with solutions and modalities appropriate to the country's urban and regional diversity", tells Folha, Miriam Belchior, who is scheduled to take charge in the area of work and infrastructure. Mirian intends to strengthen the construction of housing lots and social rent.
The future president's team is already analyzing the costs of reformulating the program, which, just to resolve the resumption of construction, will reach R$700,000,00.00. For José Carlos Martins, president of the Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry, the resumption of the program is very positive for the sector, but in addition to alerting the problems related to the construction of housing in places of difficult access and far from large centers, he also warns about delays in payment of the poorer population. poor.
The resumption will take place with a focus on the poorest population, targeting those with monthly income of up to R$1800.00, where they receive subsidies of up to 90% of the value of the property, without interest.
About 30% of Brazilian families' income goes to rent, the excessive burden representing about 50% of the country's housing deficit. With that in mind, although social rent is currently used as an emergency measure for displaced people and, therefore, it is paid integral, such as housing policy and reaching other low-income families, your payment will be partial and will help with the problem housing.
