Favelas disfarçadas: o programa minha casa minha vida em Aracaju/SE

Abstract

Created in 2009, the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program has been building homes to meet the brazilian historic housing deficit. The institutionalization of the program, however, summarizes the housing issue to numbers, since it goes beyond the environmental policy proposed by the Constitution, setting aside the fundamental issue of housing: the quality of the habitat. This work has been developed in order to evaluate the program's performance in Aracaju/SE, and to observe on its implementation and impacts on the population with up to R$ 1,600 monthly income, as well as to clarify how the public housing has been preconized vis-a-vis the relationship between the public and private sectors. To obtain such results, bibliographic and institutional surveys have been held, as well as interviews and site visits. It has been noted the low quality and slow servisse provided to the Track 1 demand, which has the largest housing deficit in the city, unlike the other, in addition to the poor quality housing conditions, especially regarding the social representations of the resident in his habitat, i.e his identity.
