"O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), anunciou nesta sexta-feira (12/6), a seleção de 85 mil novas unidades habitacionais do programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida, em um investimento de R$ 10 bilhões destinado às modalidades Rural e Entidades. A iniciativa contempla a contratação de 50 mil moradias pelo Minha Casa, Minha Vida Rural, e outras 35 mil unidades pela modalidade Urbana e Entidades."
The MCMV Entities modality — which serves families with income up to R$ 3,200 monthly — allows program access through residents' associations, housing cooperatives and unions that submit proposals to Caixa Econômica Federal. The MCMV Rural allocates resources for construction or renovation of housing for family farmers with annual gross income up to R$ 50,000, including traditional communities such as indigenous and quilombola groups. ✓

"A modalidade MCMV Entidades atende famílias com renda total de até R$ 3,2 mil (valor bruto). O acesso ao benefício se dá por meio de associações de moradores, cooperativas habitacionais e sindicatos que submetem a proposta de construção de casas e apartamentos à Caixa Econômica Federal."
The legal foundation for allocating Social Fund resources to housing is in Ordinance MCid No. 1,192/2025, published in the Official Gazette on October 14, 2025, and regulated by Decree No. 12,424/2025. The ordinance establishes the financial and operational aspects of the housing improvement credit line of the program. ✓

According to the coordinator of the Movement of Workers for Rights (MTD), Ângela Cristina Ferreira, the Entities modality "debureaucratizes housing construction" and manages to establish dialogue "at the grassroots" with people in "extreme vulnerability." The president of Contag, Vânia Marques, stated that the Rural modality "does social justice" because farmers "produce healthy food" and "supply the tables of the Brazilian people." ✓
