Abstract

The lack of housing for the working class is a historical and structural problem, which has perpetuated itself over the years. Its main cause is the existence of private property, but the State tries to wrongly circumvent the problem. This reality is not different in Uberlândia (MG), where since the 1920s this issue has become latent. The aim of this work was to understand the housing policies practiced by the Brazilian State, taking as a case study the city of Uberlândia. As a result, it was possible to present a brief history of public housing policies (PPHs) in Brazil since the 1930s, when the first PPHs occurred until the current times. We understand that a deep social and political transformation is necessary for Brazilian State to guarantee housing policies
that meet the interests of working class, being necessary, for this, a break with the bourgeois State, because the essence of the housing problem in Brazil runs through the existence of private property.
