This paper presents some reflections and propositions about the contemporary social movements, especially the homeless, concerning mainly their role in building cities in the promotion of justice is socioterritorial priority, based on an analysis of the nature of their struggles for public housing policies, promoting democratization, as well as access and use of urban space, based on the City Statute. For this, we analyze a project to build housing, through a system of self-management in a neighborhood of Recife, triggered by the action of a movement for urban reform and housing, the Movimento de Lutas nos Bairros, Vilas e Favelas (MLB), through inserting the same in current public policy to encourage self-management, institutionally triggered, the Federal sphere, in mid-2006. For the elaboration of this thesis, the method of analysis was based on both theoretical, through literature and empirical field from the spot monitoring of the evolution of the project, beyond the collection and systematization of interviews of residents , the MLB leaders and representatives of government agencies. From these mechanisms, we try to explain the main barriers and paradigms unfeasible that the full realization of the aspirations of families, organized by the movement, the conquest of their homes.
