Rural Housing Policy and the Development of Family Farming
Abstract
This article analyzes the contribution of the National Rural Housing Program (PNHR) to the development of predominantly rural territories. Based on the study of their implementation in Western Santa Catarina, it looks at the advances and limitations of this social policy.A review of the relevant literature was conducted as well as a search of documents about the policy and its implementation in the region. Interviews were conducted with local leaders and farmers who requested and or were benefitted by a new house or the restoration of an existing one. It found that the PNHR created an opportunity for rural families without access to capital to build or restore their home, despite its scope being restricted to these families. A reformulation of the program, to reduce financial demands and credit operations could allow a larger number of families to benefit, with a positive social impact on regional development.
