Bill 1947/21 includes homosexual couples with their union recognized by the State among the groups to be prioritized in the selection and ranking of beneficiaries for the 'Casa Verde e Amarela' housing program. Brazilian Federal Law No. 14,118 (“Law 14,118”) came into force on January 13th, 2021, as a result of the conversion of the Provisional Measure No. 996, of August 25th, 2020, to institute the housing program “Casa Verde e Amarela”, aiming to benefit families living in urban areas with a monthly income of up to BRL 7,000.00 and families living in rural areas with an annual income of up to BRL 84,000.00. Under analysis by the Chamber of Deputies, the draft amends Law 14.118/21 which deals with the program and currently provides that priority is granted to families in a risk or vulnerable situation, where a woman is the head of the household, or that include disabled or elderly people.
