Cohab Ct

What Cohab Ct does

Companhia de Habitação Popular de Curitiba (Cohab Ct) is the official municipal housing company of the Prefeitura Municipal de Curitiba, operating under a statutory public mandate to deliver social housing and housing-related services to low-income residents of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Its functional remit spans social housing allocation via a public inscription queue (fila), construction and delivery of subsidized housing units, property regularization under the Reurb-S program for informal settlements, deed issuance (escritura definitiva), debt renegotiation for existing beneficiaries, property transfer with active financing, and free architectural project services for housing construction and expansion. The Casa Curitibana program and the Fundo Municipal de Habitação de Interesse Social (FMHIS) anchor the offering, with 118 employees supporting operations.

The service portfolio is delivered primarily through a unified citizen-facing digital layer hosted on the Curitiba Municipal Government Portal (curitiba.pr.gov.br) and Cohab's own site (cohab.curitiba.pr.gov.br), supplemented by physical atendimento locations. Core digital services include online pré-inscrição na fila, 2ª via do boleto for installment payments, debt renegotiation, in-person appointment scheduling (Agendamento Presencial), protocol consultation, and public registries for the housing queue (Fila de Inscritos), summoned citizens (Convocados), and available properties (Imóveis Cohab). Cohab Ct does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its web infrastructure is maintained by Instituto das Cidades Inteligentes (ICI), a municipal technology institute, and the entity is LGPD-compliant under Brazilian data protection law.

The business model is non-commercial: Cohab Ct is funded through the FMHIS and the municipal budget, with service pricing for deeds, transfers, and renegotiation set by published municipal tariff tables rather than market negotiation. Recent operational milestones include the August 2026 inauguration of two housing developments benefiting 92 families and the ongoing advancement of the Bairro Novo do Caximba urbanization and land regularization project, alongside a completed series of Reurb-S community meetings across Curitiba's regional administrations. The entity is subject to municipal transparency, procurement (licitações), and salary-equality reporting requirements as part of its public-mandate operating structure.
