“…Stakeholders from different spheres of government are more interested in a higher number of units built than higher quality in design. This appears in all publicity, and even official program websites state that priority will be given to proposals that reach a higher number of families [38]. Therefore, the companies still would not be motivated to mass customize, even if the added effort and cost were only marginally higher.…”

Mass customization is being adopted in many housing contexts worldwide to provide families with dwellings that suit their individual needs at costs similar to mass-produced items. However, in many social housing contexts, there are barriers that can hinder the adoption of mass customization, despite the benefits it could bring to residents. This is the case in the Brazilian social housing context considering house units for families of the lowest income range. This paper explores the possibilities and limitations of applying mass customization in this context to improve the living conditions in these neighborhoods as they evolve over time. This study analyzes the ecology of the system of provision of social housing for the lowest income range, pre-occupancy, and post-occupancy in the neighborhood’s development over time. This study argues that it would be more feasible and bring more and longer-lasting benefits to the stakeholders involved if mass customization were applied post-occupancy.

The rehabilitation of vulnerable populations from informal settlements is not limited to the provision of formal housing; the challenges of adapting to the housing unit are diverse. Thus the aim of this study was to analyze how a vulnerable population adapts to serial housing, focusing on conflicts and spatial fragmentation. The field research involved on-site assessments, observations and semi-structured interviews inside 156 housing units in Brazil. The difficulties related to this adaptation are diverse: the reduced size of the areas in the housing unit and the lot; the difficulty of extending the housing unit; low-quality materials; the lack of a place or area to generate income; the lack of social ties with the neighborhood; the lack of privacy; spatial fragmentation with divisions and private constructions in non-occupiable areas of the lot (setbacks and clearances) and the invasion of public areas. The adaptation process to the formal, serial housing unit particularly involves conflicts among neighbors. One of the consequences of failing to adapt to “formality” is the sale or rent of the housing unit, with 19.0% of housing units of the sample being occupied by non-original beneficiaries.
