A utilização da Lei nº 11.888/2008 - Lei de Assistência Técnica Pública e Gratuita - no Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida: limites e possibilidades na pós-ocupação das unidades habitacionais

Abstract

Along the time, several actions towards the need for social housing in Brazil have been observed. Studies have shown that these programs face barriers like the lack of functional flexibility and little participation of the residents in the development of these projects. Consequently, many residents remodel their homes to fit them to their needs without the proper technical support. This dissertation has the purpose of analyzing the social housing (HIS – Habitação de Interesse Social) and focus at two legal instruments: Lei de Assitência Técnica (Law of Technical Assistance) and the Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida - PMCMV (Program My Home My Life). This study aims at the possibility of intervention on the singlefamily houses of the PMCMV, with the proper professional support of architecture, urbanism and engineering through the Lei de Assistência Técnica Pública e Gratuita (Law of Public and Free Technical Assistance). This work has the following methodology: (i) bibliographic research and systematic review on social housing in Brazil; (ii) documental research on (a) law n.11.888/08, which allows free professional support on construction, reforms, enlargement and regularization of the buildings to the families that make less than three minimum wages; and (b) law n.11.977/09 and its complements, which created the PMCMV housing program; (iii) documental research using Google Earth®'s photographs from PMCMV condos of the five geographical regions of Brazil; (iv) semi structured interview with influential people from organized society; (v) data analysis of documents and interviews. This study contributes evidencing the recurrent practice of modifying the buildings, pointing the feasibility of support from architecture and engineering professionals through the Lei de Assitência Técnica (Law of Technical Assistance). There are obstacles to be overcome in order to achieve the purpose of this work, for example, the lack of regularization of the Lei de Assitência Técnica (Law of Technical Assistance) and the unsatisfying municipal structure to conduct the social housing policies, however it is pointed ways to manage them.
