The meeting was held in a space in the Tapanã neighborhood, in Belém, to discuss housing in Pará and defend housing as a basic right to guarantee the population's well-being.
During the meeting, the candidate presented proposals for the sector, such as the promotion of social housing in properties and idle land in the state, in addition to strengthening the relationship with the federal government and city halls in the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program.
According to the candidate, the deficit in the state is at least 400 thousand homes, concentrated mainly in the Metropolitan Region of Belém, which has a deficit of 170 thousand units.
Araceli proposed the restructuring of the Pará State Housing Company (Cohab) and the reformulation of the "Sua Casa" program so that the resources are allocated to the construction of new units, and not just for renovations.
"Therefore, our government has this commitment to those who need it," declared Araceli.
The PSOL candidate also proposed the creation of a housing credit line aimed at women who are solo mothers, atypical mothers and victims of violence.
The agenda of proposals also foresees the integration of housing into climate adaptation policies. Among the measures presented are the promotion of the installation of solar energy panels in social housing projects and the implementation of a program for interventions in lowlands and slopes, with the aim of containing risks and regenerating degraded areas.
