| Summary: | <p>The “Minha Casa, Minha Vida” Program (PMCMV) is the main Brazilian government initiative to remedy the country's housing deficit, which, due to its reality, requires adequate management, avoiding detours that could make it unfeasible. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the PMCMV results based on the perception of the beneficiary families. The theoretical framework was based on the concepts of evaluation of social programs and their application to the housing context. The investigation occurred in Minas Gerais, considering a sample of 110 families distributed in eight municipalities. We adopted three categories: housing unit, housing complex and environment. In relation to the housing unit, beneficiaries of horizontal housing were more satisfied; large families showed lower satisfaction and the second phase of the Program was better evaluated. On the housing set, beneficiaries of the vertical groups, with less members and of enterprises of the second phase were more satisfied. As for the environment, there was a decrease in satisfaction with infrastructure and access to the city as family size increased. From the contact with the beneficiaries was clear the social importance of the PMCMV and the modification promoted in their lives. It is considered necessary, based on the critical points raised, to continue making corrections in the Program so that the promoted improvements can solve the social inequalities.<strong></strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong></p> <p>Housing; Evaluation; Public policy; Satisfaction.</p>
