São Paulo housing regulation and access initiatives

Overview

In São Paulo, authorities and platforms are addressing housing regulation and access. Airbnb removed 1,625 listings of social housing (HIS and HMP) in the city after municipal investigations revealed that units built with low-income incentives were being used for prohibited short-term rentals. This action followed a city-led investigation into fraud estimated at R$5.1 billion.

Concurrently, the state government is expanding housing access through the Casa Paulista program. A new phase of the initiative will provide subsidies for 10,000 housing units across 50 municipalities, including the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, with an investment exceeding R$132.7 million. Additionally, in Várzea Paulista, the municipal government has released a preliminary list of over 4,000 residents eligible for the Municipal Housing Program under the Minha Casa Minha Vida framework.
