“…MCMV is Brazil's largest ever federal housing programme. Together with the Programa de Acceleração (Acceleration Programme), MCMV is part of a larger, neo-developmentalist strategy pursued by former Workers' Party President Luis Ignacio 'Lula' da Silva to stimulate the economy while simultaneously addressing pressing social issues (Dias, 2015). The financial outlay for the programme is significant and grew with each of the three phases of the programme: phase one ran from 2009 to 2010 and constructed over 1 million housing units, with R$ 34 billion of funding allocated (Tatagiba, Claudia, and Teixeira, 2016: 4); the second phase ran from 2011 to 2014, with R$ 125.7 billion earmarked by the federal government for the construction of over 2 million housing units; and phase three began in 2015 with the aim of building a further 2 million plus housing units, with R$210 billion in funding to be provided (Brasil, 2016).…”

“…The state-led housing is also initiated and pursued for various other purposes. In Brazil, MCMV was launched dovetailing interests between the Lula administration and the civil construction business -the latter concerned with expanding its business, and the former with increasing the supply of jobs and the level of economic activity (Dias, 2015). This rhymes with other Latin American countries and India where government efforts have concentrated in reinforcing home ownership to revive the housing market.…”
