This paper, which is part of the research project Contemporary housing production: impacts on urban and socio-spatial reconfiguration in the Goiânia Metropolitan Region (RMG), developed with funding from the Research Support Foundation of Goiás (Fapeg), using post occupancy evaluation methodology, aims to understand how the municipality of Guapó stands out as a privileged location for the social production of housing in the region, as well as the impacts on the beneficiary population's way of life, urban well-being and access to opportunities. This project, which originated as an offshoot of a doctoral research (Borges, 2017), recognizes, as a research premise, the political role immanent to the projects offered by the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program (PMCMV), based on different ways of organizing housing processes, within the scope of socio-spatial inequalities alleviation. To this end, it presents as a case study the results of the research carried out with residents of Residencial Bandeiras, which stands out due to its size (640 housing units), in a small metropolitan municipality of  19,545 inhabitants, according to the 2022 Census (IBGE, 2023), located 37 km away from Goiânia (center), showing a new vector of social housing niche market towards that area of the metropolitan space. The interest in researching housing under the MCMV Program (level 1) in the RMG, within the scope of urban policy from the Applied Social Sciences and Humanities viewpoint, has both scientific and collaborative perspectives for social change and sustainable development for cities.
