Sumario: Historically, to the collective imaginary, the access to housing has constituted a form of citizenship legitimation in terms of integration into a culture. This work analyzes the housing policies developed in Uruguay during the period from 1870 to 2000. The government’s concern has been directed toward the less favored population of the urban areas, although in the middle of the XX century it turned its attention towards rural residences. Uruguayan legislation has achieved important advances on the basis of direct interventions and incentives to private intervention in the construction of inexpensive housing. It also boasts successful cases of mutual assistance cooperatives, although at the present time they have notably decayed. In spite of the efforts consummated, a large number of excluded populace is revealed, stressing the growing sociospatial segregation, product of the pro–market economic policies of the last decades.
