Sumario:One of the most frequently criticized aspects of traditional models of housing policy is the lack of consideration given to the issue of citizen participation, particularly on the part of low-income groups most affected by housing problems, which is often seen as a factor that limits the effectiveness of these policies and their adequacy in resolving existing housing needs. This issue has been taken up as a demand on the part of social organizations working on issues of housing rights, and in recent years has begun to influence the decisions of policy makers. These demands increasingly shape housing policies, which in some cases create novel mechanisms for incorporating the participation of social organizations that represent the target populations. This article looks at two recent policies that share this characteristic: Law 14449 for the Just Access to Habitat (Province of Buenos Aires), and the experience of the National Registry of Popular Neighborhoods and the subsequent National Law No. 27453. The analysis of these cases will make it possible to raise questions regarding the possibility of an emerging transition toward a model of housing policy management that contemplates the participation of social organizations as a central aspect.
