Provide 49,000 social housing and benefit 30,000 families with urbanization in precarious settlements

(V.D.01) Housing, (V.D.10) Vulnerable Families

The housing provision aims to offer permanent housing assistance to low-income families, in areas equipped with infrastructure, with adequate conditions of habitability and health. The Favelas Urbanization Program focuses on the urbanization of degraded areas, disorderly occupation, and without infrastructure, also covering irregular and precarious subdivisions. Urbanization is indispensable for the land tenure regularization of these areas, which, in turn, is fundamental to promote the insertion of this population in the legal context of the city. The objective is to transform slums and irregular subdivisions into neighborhoods, guaranteeing their residents access to the formal city, with paved streets, basic sanitation, lighting and public services.
