Social housing must respond to the population and their needs in a comprehensive manner. Social, economic, cultural and symbolic aspects have to be considered, because in the homes, different activities are developed that help to consolidate the individuals in society with a social and symbolic approach. In the development of vertical social housing construction, the designs should be directed towards the way of living, as well as promoting conditions for community development. In contrast, in much of the Mexican territory, at present, the production of social housing has an answer to address economic aspects of the construction market, instead of meeting the economic and social needs of the population in conditions of poverty and vulnerability. There is a prevailing need to reflect on the vertical use of social housing, so, within the present article, there are certain considerations (five aspects) about the profile of the beneficiaries of vertical social housing, which generate tensions in the way and style of inhabiting houses. To cover the purposes of the investigation, a case was analyzed in the city of Aguascalientes. The proposal of this writing, is intended to be a reflective tool to try to find possibilities when developing housing complexes aimed at vertical social housing.
