According to Amartya Sen, the concept of well-being is concerned with a person’s achievement. In other words; how well is his or her being? The notion of well-being is close related to the idea of advantage or the real opportunity that the person has compared with someone else. However, he clarifies that having an advantage over others doesn’t guarantee that the individual will increase his or her well-being conditions. It is the capability of the individual to convert those opportunities into something value. Bringing this idea into Constru Casa concern, the beneficiary families of housing solution would gain an advantage because of having shelter; however, their capability of literacy, health or political freedom will help to families to achieve the life that they deserve.   In consequence, support programs, community development projects are fundamental to recognize if beneficiary families are improving their quality of life. That is the reason why this research project is adding  the impact evaluation of support programs.For Sen, the well-being evaluation of a person, family or group should be multidimensional, in other words, it should reflect the achievement in key dimension of human development more than the only utilities, commodities or primary goods. Key dimension, such as; a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable, and have a decent standard of living are elements that must be included into analysis. The Sen’s priority is to understand if the person is succeeding in doing or being the kind of life that he o she is projecting, also if she or he has the freedom to achieve such ideals.
