According to Jader Filho, the program exceeded the target for hiring housing units in 2024 by 25%
The Minha Casa, Minha Vida program exceeded the target for contracting housing units in 2024 by 25%. This is what the Minister of Cities, Jader Filho, stated in an interview with the radio program “The Voice of Brazil” on Thursday (2.Jan.2025). According to him, 1 million new units were expected to be contracted. The government, however, managed to reach the 1.25 million mark.
“We have made a lot of progress in this program which, in addition to making the dream of owning a home come true, also creates jobs, generates income and develops our country”, stated the minister.
According to Jader Filho, the progress report on Minha Casa, Minha Vida in 2024 is very positive.
“We have delivered more than 41,000 new housing units. And we found a solution for around 45,000 units that were paralyzed, others that were occupied”, these.
“We advance on this topic together with city halls and state governments. There were many works that were paralyzed when we arrived at the Ministry of Cities. Others were at a very slow pace. We managed to resume these works and deliver them to Brazil”, he declared.
Created by the federal government during the second term of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), in 2009, Minha Casa, Minha Vida is a housing program aimed at serving low-income families. It is led by the Ministry of Cities and operated by Caixa Econômica Federal.
Lula tends to treat it as one of his government’s most prominent social programs. The initiative gained a new version in 2023.
Jader Filho spoke about the improvements that were made in this resumption of Minha Casa, Minha Vida.
“All new developments, which began construction at the end of 2024, must have a library and a balcony. We need to strengthen this entire social aspect of these enterprises. The maximum limit now [é de] 750 housing units in each of these condominiums”, he stated.
“Why did we do this? Because, historically, these large condominiums were gigantic and, in many of them, residents did not develop a feeling of community. There are several changes we made to improve the lives of people who will live in the new Minha Casa, Minha Vida developments”, these.
