State Housing Councils
The State Social Housing Councils are part of the National System for Social Housing and were designed to promote access to decent housing conditions for the low-income population in urban and rural areas by deploying policies to increase access to housing programs and encouraging non-governmental initiatives as well. The councils should include both public and private entities as well as members of the civil society connected to the area of housing, which can elect their representatives in the council. A quarter of the seats are designated to representatives of the popular movements.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
