Court agreement provides housing for 112 families in Santarém; see who will have priority

After years of waiting and a legal dispute that removed families from the original list of beneficiaries, 112 families from Santarém, in western Pará, will be able to receive homes from the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program.

An agreement signed at a conciliation hearing in the Federal Court provides that 15 families will be allocated to the units still available in the Moaçara I and II residential complexes, while another 97 will have priority in the new Marajoara and São José Operário I and II developments.

Among the families included is that of Fábio dos Santos, a person with a disability who is part of the group recommended for housing assistance. After waiting 12 years, he celebrated the possibility of owning his own home. The expectation is shared with family members, who are also waiting for the dream of housing to come true.
