On the first day of the federal housing program 'My House, My Life' in Manaus, more than 35,000 individuals registered, exceeding a cumulative total of over 220,000 families registered in the city. Managed by the Municipal Housing System (Simhab), the registration process will remain open until May 29, allowing families that missed the initial signup opportunity to join the housing database and be considered for upcoming housing units allocated to the municipality.

The Municipal Secretary of Housing and Land Affairs (Semhaf) has advised applicants to register online through the official Simhab website, which facilitates registration via computer or mobile device, eliminating the need for in-person visits. This initiative aims to prevent long queues and crowding at the secretary's office, making the process more accessible and efficient for residents seeking housing assistance.

A participant, Marinês Souza, 41, expressed her excitement at learning about the reopening of the registration system, highlighting the emotional significance of the opportunity to secure housing, which has long been a dream for her. This substantial level of interest in the housing program underscores the significant demand for affordable housing solutions in Manaus, reflecting broader challenges in the housing sector in Brazil.
