Minha Casa Minha Vida Program: Post-Occupancy Evaluation of Residencial Esplendore In Ponta Grossa – PR

Abstract

The ‘Minha Casa Minha Vida’ Program launched by the Federal Government in 2009, allowed access to formal housing for a portion of the population that was often excluded from the market system. In this way, the importance of evaluating the implementation of the program is highlighted in order to understand its efficacy, efficiency and effectiveness regarding access to the city of the borrowers. The post-occupation evaluation is presented as an instrument for understanding the efficacy and effectiveness of the program, since it considers objective and subjective elements of the satisfaction of the beneficiaries. In this context, this article aims to identify the characteristics presented by borrowing families by the ‘Minha Casa Minha Vida’ Program in Ponta Grossa / PR with regard to the effectiveness of the right to the city based on the post-occupation assessment at Residencial Esplendore. The data presented were extracted from the post-occupation report 2015 to 2016. We sought to analyze and understand the demands presented by families and the gaps left by the Brazilian housing policy in sectors such as public transport. The analyzed data shows the difficulties faced by the beneficiaries in the post-occupation period, such as in public transport, in the distance and in the lack of access to public facilities, elements that interfere in the access of the right to the city.
