Cohab Campinas

What Cohab Campinas does

Cohab Campinas (legal name: Companhia de Habitação de Campinas) is a municipal public housing company wholly owned by the Prefeitura Municipal de Campinas in São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 1965 and operated under the supervision of SEHAB (Secretaria Municipal da Habitação). The company implements federal, state, and municipal social housing and urban-development programs — PMCMV (Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida), PAC (Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento), Casa Paulista, and the municipal Lotes Urbanizados program — to deliver subsidized housing, urbanized lots priced 30-40% below market, and land-title regularization to low-income families earning up to R$1,800 per month. Cohab has contracted 8,950 PMCMV units across 8 developments, delivered 860 Casa Paulista units, and relocated 705 families from flood-risk areas under PAC, with unit allocation run through a housing lottery and a CIM (Cadastro de Interessados em Moradia) municipal registry.

The company operates a hybrid physical-and-digital service model anchored at its Campinas headquarters (Avenida Faria Lima, 10 — Parque Itália). Customer-facing channels include in-person service, the Cohab Digital protocol portal, Serviços ao Adquirente for existing owners, Atendimento Web for administrative requests, and the Ouvidoria ombudsman. Supporting programs include Banco de Áreas (a public land-bank database), Regularização Fundiária, Trabalho Técnico Social (post-occupancy community development), and Cadastros Habitacionais. Financing is routed through accredited banks led by Caixa Econômica Federal, which manages PMCMV funds. The technology stack is limited to these web portals plus standard municipal back-office tools; no proprietary systems, AI, or platform integrations are referenced.

The business model is one-time subsidized unit sales combined with ongoing property management and administrative service fees, with funding flowing predominantly through government housing programs rather than private-market transactions. Cohab is not listed, has no private shareholders or external investors, publishes financial statements and Carta Anual de Políticas Públicas for transparency, and operates with a workforce in the 101-250 employee band.
