**6. Conclusions**

A significant contribution of this study refers to the evaluation of the possibilities from mass customization in concert with the broader context and interests of the stakeholder in the provision of social housing for the lowest income range of housing programs in Brazil. Some previous studies have considered the benefits that mass customization could bring in the social housing context and indicated some paths for its implementation. However, most of these studies focus on only a few aspects of the provision process or do not refer to post-occupancy as part of the process and, thus, start from the premise that di fferentiation of the product must be for the initial unit. In contrast, this study argues that it would be more feasible and would bring more and longer-lasting benefits to the stakeholders involved if mass customization were applied with di fferentiation of the units happening post-occupancy.
