The crises which contemporary capitalism goes by reveal its contradictory face that is made in the midst of its own condition of existence as a system that reproduces itself through the accumulation of wealth. To think of crisis emerged from overaccumulation or capital surplus is to understand that there are contradictions that are deeply rooted in the very model of structure that it creates. The economic crisis in the United States in 2008 affected the real estate sector, raising new interests among the different agents of capital in the era of financialization of the economy - financial capital. It can be seen from then on that housing policy assumes an important role in capturing new spaces and, consequently, profit in order to remedy the impacts of the crisis. In this context, the rural environment of Colony Treze Village, located in the municipality of Lagarto, Sergipe state, has received housing projects to benefit the low income population through the Residential Lease Program through state action. The social use of land has received new contours, which influences the social use of agricultural land and its exchange value. We have the configuration of new spatial rearrangements in the region through the suppression of the rural habits and the entrance of urban equipment, once that the supranational organs need these rearrangements for the so called financialization of the economy. The land structure and land use in Brazil have been demostrated as structural components of the unequal distribution of social classes and configures the interests of the owners of the means of production as an instrument of socio-territorial control and maintenance of the economic system, supported by the contribution of the state machinery. Nowadays, the investments of the capital approach the countryside and the city, as a way to guarantee its amplified reproduction with the metamorphosis of the rural spaces, synthesis of the change in the use of the soil. The present research intends to reflect on the impacts of the 2008 crisis, through the current public housing policies; To analyze how these policies remodel the space of the referred Colony and how they affect the social use of the land. In order to fulfill these and other objectives, the specialized literature on the state of the art was read, associated to the critical reading of the empirical reality of the municipality of Lagarto; interviews; Photographic record of the study area. The collection of quantitative data was made at IBGE, at Ministry of Labor and Ministry of Agriculture, at the Municipal Health Secretariat and at Coopertreze (Mixed Cooperative Farmers of Treze Ltda). It can be seen that the housing policy, symbol of the financial capital in the midst of the crisis, has caused changes in the organizational structure of the place: change in the municipal legislation - creation of the area of urban expansion - to attend to the dictates of the real estate capital; Land valuation; Greater power of action of the financing bodies - banks; Change in work profile, less linkage to agricultural land and greater dependence on the secondary and tertiary sectors.
