This paper studied the Projeto Moradia (Tutorship Residence Project) as a clinical instrument, adopting a psychoanalytical reference, based on a clinical case study. The objective was to analyze if the project's interven-tions enables the patient to become stable by constructing a delirious metaphor. The results showed the impact of the project on the life of residents: being accepted, thus demonstrating the successful attainment of its objectives with respect to auto-nomy, reduced social isolation and intervention in problematic housing questions, articulating "two clinics": one that interferes directly in the resident's life through project interventions, and the other, which supports it, but operates in other instances of treatment, creating a relationship of institutional interdependency.
