Two unfinished buildings in a housing complex by the Minha Casa Minha Vida<\/a> program in Niter\u00f3i (Rio’s sister city across the bay), have serious structural problems and need to be demolished and rebuilt. This was confirmed last Thursday, March 21st, by the Caixa Econ\u00f4mica Federal bank.<\/p>\n

MINHA CASA, MINHA VIDA: Buildings for those left homeless by Rio rains aren’t even ready yet and will already be demolished. Serious cracks appear in the works, budgeted at R$21,9 milh\u00f5es (US$11 million). The federal government had promised the buildings would benefit 371 families and works would be delivered in April. No longer. The future residents have been living in temporary shelter for two years.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Wednesday, March 20, the TV program RJTV on Globo’s network, showed images of the condemned buildings with huge cracks and distorted walls.<\/p>\n

The Zilda Arns II housing complex, with nine blocks and 371 housing units, is intended to house homeless people and those living in risk areas of the city, according to the Niter\u00f3i city government. Among these are survivors of the landslides in Morro do Bumba in 2010<\/a>. These families have been sheltered at the 3rd Infantry Battalion in S\u00e3o Gon\u00e7alo, a neighboring city, for more than two years awaiting the works\u2019 completion.<\/p>\n

Each of the two condemned buildings comprise 40 housing units. The total contracted value for the Zilda Arns II enterprise is almost R$21.9 million (US$11 million). Nearly R$19 million has already been spent and 88.68% of the works had been deemed concluded.<\/p>\n

Caixa Econ\u00f4nica, which is overseeing the venture\u2019s funds, says they still don’t have a due date for the reconstruction of the two blocks. The bank\u2019s press office affirms they are awaiting technical reports to find out whether the remaining seven Zilda Arns II blocks are safe. The deadline for the delivery of the Zilda Arns I complex, composed of 83 apartments, remains April of this year.<\/p>\n
