%X in response to a call for proposals launched by the colombian society of architects permanent commission for habitat quality in 2007, a multidisciplinary team submitted a research project that was approved; the results of this study are commented and summarized on this paper. an instrument designed to assess the quality of housing based on users satisfaction was applied to a sample of 124 social housing units built between 2000-2007. the results have enabled the characterization of the subject of study (housing, environment and users) and the assessment of its integral quality. as a result, professionals responsibility to users has been determined as well as beneficiaries participation in the production and transformation of their habitat. the paper shows that projects are characterized by a poor aesthetic image; likewise, these initiatives do not properly meet users basic needs and do not offer flexible alternatives within participatory processes. on the contrary, these projects generate socio-spatial segregation and prioritize capital investment, disregarding the most vulnerable groups; as a consequence, there is no significant improvement in quality of life.
