Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present Brazil’s national housing policy and housing plan. It is divided into two parts. The first part is about the historical trajectory of the country’s housing policy. Reviewing this trajectory is crucial if the repetition of past mistakes is to be avoided and is also useful in terms of learning from advances that were made in the past that can be applied again. The second part is dedicated to the current state of affairs.
