Firstly, if you have the constant desire to purchase your own home, it is very likely that you already have some knowledge about the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program (MCMV).

This program was created in 2009 and aims to facilitate the acquisition of affordable housing and housing complexes for low-income families.

In fact, the program offers subsidies and interest rates below the market for those who meet the required social and income requirements. 

For the year 2023, there will be some changes to the program. In this sense, one of the main ones is the return of Range 1. Each range is equivalent to a value of gross income:

  • Band 1: monthly income up to R$2,640.00;
  • Band 2: monthly income from R$2,640.01 to R$4,400.00;
  • Band 3: monthly income from R$4,400.01 to R$8,00.00.

Furthermore, the program includes new housing options, such as social rentals and the purchase of used properties. And homeless families will also be included in the program. 

But, as not everything is rosy, the program has faced challenges in recent years, with a large number of housing units not completed and works halted. 

However, the government is currently working together with companies, financial agents and public entities to resume and complete these works.

Who is entitled to the benefit?

Firstly, to fit into the program, you need to meet some established requirements:

  • families that have a woman responsible for the family unit;
  • families with people with disabilities, the elderly, children and adolescents, families at risk and vulnerability;
  • families in emergency or calamity areas;
  • families in involuntary displacement due to federal public works;
  • homeless families.

Furthermore, the priority is that the housing is in women's names.

What are the advantages of this government benefit?

Initially, the Minha Casa, Minha Vida Program represents a unique opportunity for families who want to realize their dream of owning their own home.

In addition to offering safe and affordable housing, the program also has other attractive benefits.

Since it was created, one of the main advantages is the possibility of financing under special conditions. Interest rates are lower than market rates.

Furthermore, the payment period is longer, which allows the installments to be lower.

Just like the ease of access to the program is another advantage. Families that meet the requirements established by the program can apply without bureaucracy and with simplified processes.

The program also offers free technical assistance to families. Therefore, they help with how to take care of the home and how to carry out small renovations, keeping the property in good condition.

Finally, the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program is a unique opportunity for families seeking greater financial stability and realizing their dream of owning their own home.

The process is different for each income bracket. See how it works.

Firstly, for families in Track 1 of the program, the process begins with registration at the city hall. Followed by data validation by Caixa Econômica Federal and the draw of housing. 

Families that meet the requirements receive information with the date and details to sign the property contract. 

While for families in Bands 2 and 3, registration can be done through a company participating in the program or directly with Caixa. 

Finally, it is possible to carry out a simulation of what the financing will look like through the Caixa website. Simply enter the approximate value of the property, location and family income.

Once all documents have been approved, the family is ready to sign the financing contract.
