Mato Grosso housing projects receive Merit Seal 2026
Two housing initiatives from the Mato Grosso government have been selected to receive the 2026 Merit Seal, awarded by the Brazilian Association of Cohabs and Public Housing Agents (ABC) and the National Forum of Secretaries of Housing and Urban Development (FNSHDU).
The recognized projects are “Do Terreno à Chave” and the Mato Grosso Housing System (SiHabMT). Both are part of the SER Família Habitação program and are managed by MT Participações e Projetos (MT Par). The award recognizes public sector excellence in social interest housing, specifically regarding management solutions, technology use, and inter-institutional coordination.
Wener Santos, president of MT Par, stated that the recognition highlights the state as a reference in popular housing due to efficiency and results. He noted that the program has enabled 48,000 units across the state, focusing on rapid delivery through construction technology and ensuring structured neighborhoods with necessary infrastructure.
