Access to housing is one of the most significant challenges faced by many Brazilians. And the program My Home My Life has played a crucial role in facilitating real estate financing across the country.
Initially created to reduce the housing deficit, the program is constantly adjusted to serve a larger portion of the population. In this way, it will promote broader inclusion.
Income Range and Subsidies
The Federal Government recently announced important changes to the program, increasing income limits and, as a result, increasing the number of beneficiaries. In this context, it is essential to understand how these changes impact access to financing and what the new procedures are for those who wish to participate in the program.
The Minha Casa Minha Vida program is divided into different income brackets. These brackets determine both the amount of the subsidy offered and the maximum family income ceiling for each bracket. Bracket 1 is intended for families with a gross monthly income of up to R$2,850, an increase over the previous ceiling of R$2,640.
This change represents a significant expansion of the beneficiary base, allowing a greater number of low-income families to access substantial subsidies.
In this range, the subsidy can cover up to 95% of the property value. In this case, it means that the buyer only needs to pay 5% of the total cost of the house or apartment. This financial support is crucial to help families acquire their home with a reduced initial investment.

Other tracks in the program
In Band 2, the maximum income allowed for access to financing was adjusted from R$ 4,400 to R$ 4,700. This band also receives a subsidy, but of a smaller proportion compared to Band 1.
Families in Band 2 can receive a subsidy of up to R$1,400,000 to purchase a property. This adjustment is important to include a greater number of middle-income families, who also face difficulties in covering the total cost of a property. Although the subsidy amount is lower, it still represents a significant relief in the total cost of purchase.
Band 3 remains unchanged, benefiting families with incomes of up to R$1,000. Although there have been no recent changes to this band, it continues to offer financing opportunities to a considerable group of Brazilians.
Maintaining the conditions of Band 3 ensures that a segment of the population that falls into higher income brackets, but still needs support, continues to be covered by the program.
Request and Access Procedures
For those interested in checking which properties are available for their profile, the recommendation is to look for a Caixa Econômica Federal branch.
Caixa is the financial institution responsible for administering the Minha Casa Minha Vida program. Therefore, it is responsible for listing the property options that suit the applicants' conditions and income. The process includes analyzing financial data and choosing the appropriate property within the program's guidelines.
The increase in income brackets and adjustments to subsidies are significant steps in the attempt to expand the program's reach. In this way, it aims to serve a wider range of citizens. With the new structure, the Federal Government seeks to provide access to more families. And this makes it easier to acquire real estate and contributes to reducing the housing deficit in the country.
To ensure maximum benefit from the program, it is essential that interested parties inform themselves about the new bands and procedures. Finally, they should consult the options offered by Caixa Econômica Federal.
