Over the past few decades, there have been many political and social changes in Brazil. Much of these changes are due to the Federal Constitution of 1988, which, in addition to expanding individual guarantees, presents, in its article 6, fundamental social rights, among which, the right to housing. in this perspective, CF / 88 also brought greater responsibilities to the municipalities, which now have more administrative autonomy in the management of public policies. Given this context, the present study evaluates, from a citizenship perspective (DE MARIO; LAISNER; GRANJA, 2016) the enterprises of the Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida - faixa 1 and its surroundings in the municipalities of Extremoz and São Gonçalo do Amarante. The evaluation contemplates the technical and political dimensions of the PMCMV- faixa 1, also seeking to identify the perception that policy users have of it. To this end, documentary, bibliographic and semi-structured interviews were conducted with residents of the Jardins de Extremoz and São Gonçalo do Amarante Residences, as well as the Executive Housing Management of Caixa Econômica Federal - GIHAB. The IRAMUTEQ software was also used to carry out statistical analysis, correspondence factor analysis and descending hierarchical classification of the speeches. The results of this study allowed, by means of social parameters and indicators, the comparison of expectations prior to the policy with the results achieved, bringing a balance of experiences in each municipality, exposing their similarities and particularities.
