The research discusses the contributions of the “Minha Casa Minha Vida” Program (PMCMV) in the creation and expansion process of urban space in the Metropolitan Area of Vitória (RMGV), specifically examining the production of public housing to families with a low monthly income of up to R$ 1.600,00. It aims to understand the operational characteristics of the program and its implication on the socially constructed space and people’s everyday lives. The analytical methodology was structured based on quantitative data obtained from public agencies on housing production since the program’s establishment in 2009 until January 2014. Data were distributed by space and families’ household incomes. As a case study, three areas in the Metropolitan Area of Vitória were surveyed. The chosen municipalities were Cariacica, Vila Velha and Vitória for having relevant projects of PMCMV in different stages of implementation. The survey covers projects in five different stages of implementation (expected, to be approved, approved, under construction and delivered). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with residents of the housing complex of the PMCMV set in Vitória; neighboring residents to the developments of the PMCMV in Vila Velha; local merchants and shopkeepers; President of the neighborhood's Residents Association; employees of contractors and civil servants. Field researches were made in selected areas and surrounding territories where the social housing is being implemented. The program has been achieving significant results: 3.2 million units were contracted and 1.5 million delivered in the last 5 years in Brazil. In the same period of time, 46.879 houses were contracted and 15.295 were delivered in Espírito Santo State and in the RMGV 25.919 houses were contracted and 6.958 delivered. The PMCMV continues to generate historical contradictions inherent to previous public housing policies such as submission to strategies of the capitalist market and the reproduction of an urban growth model characterized by socio-spatial segregation, besides promoting the occupation of new peripheral areas of the city, acting with catalytic effect in the urban expansion of the RMGV.
