In 2009, the Brazilian government started a housing program, the Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV), aimed at promoting access to housing for the country’s low and middle-income population. This article evaluated the locations of the PMCMV homes in the city of Porto Alegre / RS, in relation to at-risk and conservation areas. The methodology of the study is based on a documental analysis of the records from public agencies, in which the areas of influence of the enterprises that converge with the at-risk and conservation areas were identified and mapped, asccording to two aspects: (1) only mapped municipal data; and (2) associating municipal data and national data. The results showed that, for the first analysis, 23.43% of the PMCMV's project areas are located in areas of environmental importance and / or risk areas in the city, while in the second analysis, these values increased to 56.51% of the total area of these projects. The conclusions call attention to impacts of these locations on the city as a whole, when the public administration loses opportunity, through public policy,to promote safer and more sustainable conditions for the city.
