Brazil Minha Casa Minha Vida program expansion

Overview

The Minha Casa Minha Vida programme continues to expand across Brazil. President Lula recently announced that the program has reached a milestone of 2.5 million contracted homes since its resumption in 2023, meeting a target increased from 2 million in early 2025. In Volta Redonda, the municipal government plans to deliver more than 2,000 new low-income homes, with the first phase, Morada do Campo, nearing completion for 192 households. Fortaleza’s market remains a focal point, with investors channeling funds into Faixa 3 and 4 projects; the city recorded R$8.8 billion in sales in 2025, a figure the local construction union noted as the highest in its history. In Parauapebas, the municipality has formalized the accreditation of HORL SPE I Ltda. to manage the Flor de Carajás project, aiming to construct at least 1,000 units for families in the Faixa 1 and Faixa 2 income brackets. In Cáceres, the City Hall has issued a public call for companies to support the Residencial Pantanal project under the Minha Casa Minha Vida/FAR program, which aims to develop approximately 76 housing units. To address long-term urban deficits, Brazil’s Ministry of Cities is developing the National Housing Plan (PLANHAB 2040). This initiative seeks to restructure financing models and address issues such as urban fragmentation, climate adaptation, and demographic shifts, including an aging population. In Cuiabá, enforcement operations by the City Hall and the Public Ministry of Mato Grosso have resulted in the demolition of several uninhabited structures, including 19 buildings in a single recent action, to combat irregular occupations in high-risk environmental preservation areas. While authorities state these actions protect public assets and water springs, local residents and state deputy Wilson Santos have raised concerns regarding the impact on vulnerable families and claims of insufficient prior notification.
