Resumo:
This work discourses about the access to housing and the socio-spatial inequalities, through a study about the My Home My Life Program, based on the particularities of the Sousa I Housing Complex, in Sousa (PB). It aimed to analyze how the access to housing policy in the outback of Paraíba does not mean the guarantee of other rights from geographical, economic and social dimensions that involve the families in the mentioned housing complex.For this purpose, the research is guided by the critical dialectical method. It perceives the socio-spatial inequalities as a social question expression and, therefore, as an object of intervention and action of the Social Worker. The study explains that, in a society permeated by inequalities and negation of social rights, the Housing Program becomes a great economic vehicle, its logic is relegated to the interest of the great constructors and, therefore, of the dominant classes. The beneficiary families see their right to an urbanized city being curtailed from access to the right to own house, in the standards of My Home My Life, for the poor population. The research aimed to understand the socio-spatial inequalities, and the impacts occurred in the lives of the families living in the Sousa I housing complex. The analysis is perceived through a bibliographical research and a fieldwork in the locus of the object of study. The text contains interviews with nine women beneficiaries of the Program, and through their perceptions reveals the strategies developed by them to combat the distance and lack of urban structure of the neighborhood. The research verified that the housing deficit is a challenging reality in Brazil, and that the problem still is analyzed under a market and quantitative prism. The Sousa I housing complex families are mentioned in this work as an expression of the concrete reality of socio-spatial segregation.
