The projects were surveyed and characterized as to the income range of the residents, urban insertion of the enterprises, typologies of the buildings, construction systems adopted. The degree of compliance of the projects with NBR 15575 was then carried out, specifically with regard to the factors of Habitability called Functionality and Accessibility. Such research generates reflections and contributes to the professional training, mainly of architects and urban planners, regarding the valorization of the current regulatory context in the theme of housing in the city and of decent housing as a fundamental human right. The knowledge base generated on EHIS projects can support future evaluations to verify performance.
