The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the "My House, My Life" Housing Program in the Brazilian economy through the dynamic of the construction industry. The input-output matrix was used to estimate the generators and multipliers of production, income, employment and taxes. The results indicated that the construction industry had forward and backwards links below the average of the economy sectors. However, considering the amount of R$ 125,7 billions planned for investment in the period under review, the conclusion was made that there will be a meaningful increase in workers' income, 7 millions of direct and indirect jobs will be created, there will be an approximate 6% increase in the production of GDP in 2010 figures and, at least, 16% of the subsides offered in the financing contracts of this program will return to the Government.
