In Vitória, the municipal government enacted Decree No. 27.034 to regulate the Central Area Rehabilitation Program (ReAC). This legislation enables the city to seize abandoned or deteriorated properties, such as houses and land, to facilitate urban occupation and social housing projects. To qualify for seizure, properties must show signs of neglect, such as structural damage or accumulated trash, and owners are granted a 30-day period to present a defense.

Following these regulatory efforts, Vitória expanded its housing initiatives by providing definitive land titles to 265 families in the Resistência neighborhood. This regularization resulted from a local and federal agreement concerning marine areas, providing residents with legal security for their properties.
