The units classified as Social Interest Housing (HIS) and Popular Market Housing (HMP) are housing types with urban incentives provided for in municipal legislation, designed to serve the low- and middle-income population, defined by the urban legislation of the municipality of São Paulo.  

HIS/HMP units must be intended for people whose family income falls within the following limits, as set out in Municipal Decree No. 64.006/2025 (or any rule that may replace it):

• HIS-2: for families with a monthly family income of up to R$9,108.00 or a monthly per capita income of up to R$1,518.00;
• HMP: for families with a monthly family income of up to R$15,180.00 or a monthly per capita income of up to R$2,277.00.

You can buy HIS/HMP units:

• People with a monthly family income within the limits defined for each typology (HIS-1, HIS-2 or HMP);
• People who do not fall within the income brackets, provided that they commit to allocating the unit, by means of a lease and observing the rent ceiling, to families that meet the income criteria required by law.

In order to purchase or rent HIS/HMP units, it is necessary to prove that the final recipient of the unit falls within the income brackets required by law. To do this, an income classification certificate must be obtained.

For the certificate to be issued, the framework must be proven by submitting documents such as:

• Individual Income Tax Return (IRPF) of the contract holder(s);
• Three most recent payslips;
• Bank statements for the last three months;
• Or other documents provided for in SEHAB Ordinance No. 61/2024.

It is possible to buy HIS/HMP units even if the buyer does not fall within the income brackets, as long as the unit is intended to be rented out to families that do fall within the brackets, and the ceiling of 30% of the monthly family income envisaged for the unit must be observed.

To do this, it is necessary:

• Issue the rent certificate in the tenant's name;
• Obtain and submit documentation proving the tenant's income, as provided for in SEHAB Ordinance No. 61/2024.

• HIS-2: Considering the rental of an HIS-2 unit, the estimated monthly return to the investor could reach R$ 2,732.40, corresponding to 30% over the maximum family income allowed for this typology.
• HMP: In the case of HMP units, the estimated monthly return can reach R$ 4,554.00, equivalent to 30% over the maximum family income allowed for this range.
