Abstrac Social Housing (SH) is investigated worldwide, especially in emerging economies. However, SH literature demonstrates that there are still barriers to achieving the real benefits of those programmes. Brazilian SH programmes have positively reduced housing deficits and the vulnerability of low-income populations. However, studies developed in Brazil also reveal the negative impacts of SH. Investigating the reason for the recurrence of negative impacts is fundamental to gaining a stronger understanding of the causes and scope of SH problems. Moreover, state-of-the-art studies may support the development of actions to mitigate those problems. Thus, this study aims to categorise the major topics studied on SHs, identify and evaluate SH main failures and impacts, analyse intersections of topics, and understand their scope. A systematic review and literature mapping were applied to analyse SH studies. Although evidence emphasises significant advances in SH production, results demonstrate the intersecting panorama of occurrences that cause negative impacts and stress the need for investments and the implementation of housing public policies aligned with societal interests to improve SH.

“…Quality of life and its components of social, health, economic and environmental conditions were analysed. The second study evaluated SCs in Brazilian SH with the need for transformations of units and surroundings during the Covid-19 pandemic (KOWALTOWSKI et al, 2021;KOWALTOWSKI;CASTRO, 2022). Another study categorised issues related to SH studies in general, and identified and assessed SH shortcomings, primarily in Brazil (MUIANGA;.…”

Brazilian Social Housing (SH) programmes have a positive effect on reducing habitational deficits, however, often fail to mitigate social segregation. In addition, SHs present a minimal, or inadequate comfort, and environment quality with adverse consequences on the quality of life and well-being of users. The negative impacts of housing conditions and the built environment may imply in Social Costs (SCs) incurred on society. There is a gap related to SCs associated with Brazilian SH, and how to estimate these. Our research aims to evaluate potential SCs related to SH. The study was developed in 3 stages: evaluation of SCs components, estimation of a SC model, and identification of SCs in a specific SH example. Visual observations, questionnaires, photos, mapping, and documents to analyse SCs were applied in a specific case study. Furthermore, our research highlights a participatory process, placing the residents as protagonists to define their housing. Understanding how social issues are associated with housing conditions and their surroundings and creating mechanisms to reduce SCs may enable the development and implementation of new housing design solutions. Also, fundamental are future scenarios where sustainability, quality of life, and well-being guide the production of housing and the resulting built environment
