The housing deficit in Brazil is a chronic problem, affecting both urban and rural areas. In order to reverse the deficit scenario and meet the demands of social movements linked to the rural environment, Federal Government, in 2009, created the National Rural Housing Program (NRHP), under My Home My Life Program (MHMLP), with the purpose of providing access to worthy housing for farmers family, rural workers and traditional communities. The aim of the study is to analyze the process of implementing the NRHP in the municipality of Bozano/RS. Identifying the different actors, their actions, challenges during the operationalization of the NRHP and results of the implementation of the social policy over time. The Municipality of Bozano was selected for the research because it was qualified as an Organizing Entity (OE) of the NRHP, enabling the construction of 42 housing units, contracted through the NRHP-Group 1, in 2013, and completed in 2015. Based on the references of the phenomenological approach, a literature review, documentary research and interviews with the manager of the organizing entity, members of the Committee of Representatives of the Enterprise and Beneficiaries, were done. It was found that the NRHP contributes to the (re)production of the analyzed rural space; that the organizing entity acted effective in this process of implementation and operationalization of the NRHP; that the implemented process enabled the development the concept of the social and economic importance of the field to the beneficiary and involved public; and that the project contributed to the generation of social security conditions and inclusion of beneficiaries. Thus, beneficiaries had improvements in their quality of life with access to worthy housing, ensuring their permanence in the countryside and allowing social reproduction.
