João Pessoa housing projects receive national Merit Seal award

The João Pessoa City Hall has been awarded the ‘Selo de Mérito’ (Merit Seal) for four housing projects developed by the Social Housing Secretariat (Semhab). The recognition was granted by the Brazilian Association of Cohabs and Public Housing Agents (ABC) and the National Forum of Housing and Urban Development Secretariats (FNSHDU).

The honored initiatives include the Davi Project and the Eu Existo Program in the social area, the Revitalization and Occupation of Historic Centers project, and the Community of ‘S’ project in Baixo Roger. These projects focus on social inclusion, historical preservation, and construction.

Social Housing Secretary Socorro Gadelha stated that the awards demonstrate the municipality's progress in combating housing deficits and promoting social inclusion. The official trophy and certificate will be presented in Brasília during the 74th National Housing Forum in November.
