Abstract

The present work focuses on the role of the social worker in housing policy, with an emphasis on analyzing the implementation of the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program. In this context, the main objective is to evaluate how the social worker contributes to the effectiveness of housing policies, especially concerning social inclusion and the mitigation of socio-spatial inequalities. To achieve this, the methodology adopted was a bibliographic review, which enabled an analysis of the specialized literature on housing policies and the social worker's intervention, utilizing renowned authors in the field and important legal frameworks, such as the City Statute and Law No. 11,977/2009, which established the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program. The research is qualitative and is based on the dialectical-critical method, which allows for an understanding of social reality through its contradictions and totality. In this context, the results of this research indicate that, although the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program has expanded access to housing for thousands of Brazilians, it has also revealed persistent structural problems.

The study also highlights the importance of the interdisciplinary role of the social worker, who, by bringing together different fields of knowledge, contributes to the development of more effective solutions, while the professional's comprehensive approach allows for an understanding of social dynamics and the formulation of inclusive public policies. Thus, the conclusion of this work points out that the social worker plays an indispensable role in the operationalization and coordination of housing policies, also acting as a mediator between the State and populations in vulnerable situations and in welcoming the subjects of their action, their The practice goes beyond the simple delivery of housing, also involving the promotion of policies that guarantee social inclusion and the democratization of urban space.
