Plan Together
"Plan Together" was a response to Executive Decree No. 171/010 of 2010, which declared a socio-housing emergency of the population in extreme poverty, as a consequence of the socio-economic deterioration of these sectors of the Population, which was followed by Law No. 18.829 in 2011, the "Joint Socio-Housing Integration Plan". It is a program that has the objective to create housing and infrastructure solutions, in connection with social policies aimed at organization, education and health. The leading role of the neighbors involved in the program is a fundamental pillar: the projects are carried out with the professional team of the Plan Together, along with volunteers and neighbors. Neighbors should meet in assemblies to plan and discuss works and other projects. In order to access the program, families have to sign an agreement with which they undertake to work a certain amount of hours in their own buildings, to attend assemblies and weekly planning meetings, among other activities.
