President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced, on Tuesday afternoon (14), in Santo Amaro, in the Recôncavo Baiano, the resumption of the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program. In the city, two housing developments were delivered with a total of 684 apartments. The housing units in the city were initially contracted in 2013, and were practically completed. However, they were abandoned for a few years and had to be renovated.
:: Government relaunches Minha Casa Minha Vida under expectations of subsidies and improvements ::
The housing program returns with the proposal to allocate 50% of financed or subsidized units to Level 1 – families with gross income of up to R$ 2,600. Subsidies in this range vary between 85% and 95%. The possibility of social leasing, the acquisition of second-hand urban housing and options for homeless families will be provided for in the program.

The Lula government’s bet with Minha Casa, Minha Vida is to generate work and income, promote economic and social development and increase the population’s quality of life. Housing can be offered in the form of assignment, donation, lease, lending, leasing or sale, financed or not.
There is a list of requirements that direct the application of resources from the Federal Budget and funds that help compose Minha Casa, Minha Vida. Among the requirements are:
– Families that have a woman as head of the family unit;
– Families that have people with disabilities, the elderly and children and adolescents in their family composition;
– Families at risk and vulnerability;
– Families in areas in an emergency or calamity situation;
– Families involuntarily displaced due to federal public works;
– Families living on the streets.
The new program provides for five lines of action:
– Partially or fully subsidize new housing units in urban or rural areas;
– Financing new or second-hand housing units in urban or rural areas;
– Social leasing of real estate in urban areas;
– Provision of urbanized lots;
– Housing improvement in urban and rural areas.
