Novos programas, velhas realidades: uma análise do Programa Habitacional Casa Verde e Amarela em Alagoas

Abstract

Since 1930, the Federal Government began intervening in the process of producing affordable housing, and the same period saw the emergence of institutions addressing this housing issue, such as the Popular Housing Foundation. In 1964, the Housing Finance System and the National Housing Bank were established. With the end of the dictatorship in 1985, particularly from the 1990s onwards, the Federal Government created programs focused on Social Interest Housing, the most recent being the My House, My Life Program, the Green and Yellow House Program, and in 2023, the return of the My House, My Life Program. In this scenario, this study aims to analyze the performance of the Green and Yellow House Program (2020-2022) in the state of Alagoas, especially in the capital, Maceió. Through methodological procedures, theoretical frameworks were studied to understand the evolution of Popular Housing, followed by data collection on the Green and Yellow House Program, and finally, an analysis of its performance in Alagoas with emphasis on Maceió was conducted. From this, it was possible to understand that the Green and Yellow House Program did not propose significant changes for the low-income population corresponding to Group 1; however, interest rates were added that were not present in the My House, My Life Program for Group 1. In Alagoas, a total of 8 (eight) developments were delivered by the Green and Yellow House Program, with 6 (six) of these located in Maceió. Through these developments, analyses were conducted on implementation conditions, typology, quantities of housing delivered, urban facilities, unit dimensions, rooms, and parking. From the analyses, it was observed that there were no advances in the typologies of the developments or in their implementation in urban spaces. Therefore, the conditions faced by the population corresponding to low-income families remain the same as those present in previous programs. Furthermore, there are no planning prospects for new modulation or the integration of developments near urban centralities, highlighting the persistence of old realities faced by low-resource residents despite the creation of new housing programs.
