THE LEGAL ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC POLICY APPLIED TO THE 'MINHA CASA, MINHA VIDA' PROGRAM: A CASE STUDY OF BRASILIA

The Brazilian housing policy known as "Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida" (PMCMV) (literally: "My Home, My Life Program") has been in existence for ten years since its inception in 2019. Although it is recognized as the largest housing program ever implemented in Brazil, its future is currently uncertain. The program initially addressed the needs of poor classes. However, policy implementation has led to the deepening of existing disparities with respect to the enjoyment of the right to housing by the most disadvantaged social groups. In addition to considering data regarding the number of housing units produced by income bracket of prospective home buyers, our analysis has covered elements that we take as being significantly associated to the enjoyment of the right to housing. Therefore, we looked at elements such as location and modalities of transportation available to the beneficiaries of the program, available social facilities, the physical structure and dimension of housing units and also impacts of the some variables of the political-economic context. The approach and methodology established by the Legal Analysis of the Economic Policy (LAEP) made this examination possible both in terms of producing an Index of Empirical Enjoyment referring to the housing right of home buyers belonging to different income brackets, and as a way of making a preliminary assessment of the effects that some macroeconomic indicators may have on the enjoyment of the right to housing of home buyers associated with the program. The results are, unfortunately, discouraging, there are many distortions to be faced by the PMCMV, especially regarding the distribution of real estate by income bracket and the possibility of enjoying the right to housing under the conditions provided.
