This paper presents and analyses the recent slum upgrading experiences in the city of Jundiaí - Sao Paulo State, from 2010 to 2017, funded by the following federal programs: Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento – Assentamentos Precários and Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida.These actions took place in 4 informal settlements: Jardim São Camilo, Jardim Novo Horizonte, Parque Centenário and Vila Ana. Their urban design and housing architecture are examples of diversity, representative of the work developed by Fundação Municipal de Ação Social (FUMAS), the local office responsible by social housing policy. Based on design information, field visit and FUMAS’s technicians interviews, we developed an analytical perspective of the 4 experiences and the housing police implemented. As a result, we argue that most of the solutions were succes-sful but many constraints remained. While the City Statute (2001) empowered the municipality as the leader of the urban development and the responsible for the social housing policy, the support of federal financial resources enable the city to develop unique solutions to each community, shifting the current paradigm of social housing as a single and uniform response to the different housing problems.
