The announcement about the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program, which aims to benefit the middle class, was made by the president.
This Tuesday (13), President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT)'s intention to expand the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program was announced. This time, the goal is to include middle-class families, covering those with a monthly income of up to R$ 12,000.
During a live broadcast on social media, Lula expressed his desire to offer more opportunities for the middle class to achieve homeownership. The announcement reflects the commitment to also serve those who gave the president less support during the 2022 elections.
Renewed prospects for the middle class
Currently, the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program is focused on facilitating access to housing financing for families in urban areas with a gross monthly income of up to R$ 8,000, and families in rural areas with a gross annual income of up to R$ 96,000.
However, with this new proposal by Lula, the aim is to expand the program to also include middle-class families, providing more opportunities to make the dream of homeownership a reality.
As president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva highlighted: “We need to provide Minha Casa, Minha Vida not only for the poorest people. We need to provide Minha Casa, Minha Vida for the middle class. Those who earn R$ 10,000, R$ 12,000, or R$ 8,000 also want to own a home, and they want a better home”.
Remembering the history of Minha Casa, Minha Vida
Created during Lula’s second term, in 2009, the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program became an important tool in combating Brazil’s housing deficit. In 2020, during Bolsonaro’s administration, the program was terminated and replaced by the Casa Verde e Amarela program, with some changes to the eligibility criteria.
However, in February of this year, the government reinstated the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program through a provisional measure, refocusing it on the low-income population and reserving 50% of the units for families with an income of up to R$ 2,640.
In addition, the income bracket that had been eliminated under the previous administration was reintroduced. This provisional measure was approved by the Chamber of Deputies last week.
