V Seminar on Technical Assistance for Social Interest Housing
With the goal of encouraging practices for Technical Assistance for Social Interest Housing (ATHIS), the Council of Architecture and Urbanism of Brazil (CAU/BR) mandated in 2017 that all state-level councils (CAU/UFs) allocate 2% of their budgets to support ATHIS initiatives. In alignment with CAU/BR guidelines, the Santa Catarina Council (CAU/SC) established the Special Commission for Technical Assistance (CTEC) in 2017. Composed of a group of architects and urban planners, the commission was tasked with coordinating the development of public and free technical assistance policies, as provided for by Law 11.888/2008.
