Brazil president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is intent on helping the flagging Brazilian economy by injecting $15.1 billion into the housing industry. According to Bloomberg, the Brazilian government will build one million new homes for the country’s low income earners.
Currently the situation is dire as local companies cut costs to weather the global crisis. The emergency program is supposed to help boost the Brazilian market and help people survive the recession.
Low income earners will be supposed to pay a symbolic contribution to take on home ownership and people who earn less than 2,790 reais will be eligible for government subsidies.
