The Public Housing Policies in Brazil has gained enough visibility, and its peak
occurred in 2009, when then President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, instituted the
Program My Home My Life-PMCMV under Law No. 11,977 of 2009. This law is
intended to subsidize resources to acquire new urban housing and the reform of rural
housing. To strengthen the PMCMV, in 2014 the Ministry of Cities made public the
Port. Nº 21, on Social Work, which aims to incorporate the beneficiary families with
educational, political and sustainability activities through social interaction,
guaranteeing their rights and improving their quality of life. The aim of this article was
to investigate the weaknesses of Public Housing Policies implemented in the
municipality of Araguaína from the Ordinance N°. 21, and how the beneficiaries
organize themselves in the search for an improvement in the quality of life. The focus
to be studied are the families residing in the Lago Azul I housing complex, of which
16 families were interviewed through questionnaires that covered questions of
occupation, income, schooling and problems in the community. In addition, they
applied two semi-structured scripts with the representative of the families in the
community and a representative of the government. The main results show that there
is a need for better organization in the search for incentives and a greater
participation of the families aiming improvements to problems of infrastructure,
security among others raised in this work.
