Conditions in these were terrible, Most people had no lights or any air. They were overcrowded. They were very dirty. Laws were eventually made to improve the conditions in these tenement houses. They made changes because people were dying from terrible conditions.

The government makes one of the biggest contributions to the welfare of the family by providing financial safety. The problem is that the government fails to show any concern for these families unless it is brought to their attention, and even then nothing is changed. The lack of interest by the housing authorities leads to the neglect of Horner for over fifteen years. “The rotting carcasses explained the putrid odor rising from the Riverses’ toilet. It wasn’t aborted fetuses, as LaJoe had though. It was dead animals, the stench of rotting flesh rising through the pipes” (Kotlowitz 241).

6.1 In The Planet of the Slums, Mike Davis using the definition made by the US Department of Labor, describes slums as “an area of dirty back streets, especially when inhabited by squalid and criminal population” (Davis: 22). Brasilmar Ferreira Nunes and Leticia Veloso, similarly explain the definition of “favelas”, as a “marginalized urban space” (Nunes & Veloso: 225).

I agree that a slum is looked at as dirty and can contain a criminal like population, yet I disagree that these slums are always in the “back streets.”

Residents are overall unaware of the activities undertaken by UPP Social. They associate it with social events organized by the UPPs. As a consequence, many residents did not want to take part in the activities, as they associated UPP Social with the police. To overcome the misunderstandings, the program was renamed “Rio + Social” in 2014 (Fernandes 2014).
