Public Call Published on September 12, 2025, in the Official Gazette Opens Space for Entities to Act in Culture, Equity, and Inclusion in Diverse Regions of the State.

The Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro confirmed, on September 12, 2025, the opening of the first public call for the free transfer of historical properties. Six strategic addresses will be used by entities from the third sector, in projects related to culture, equity, and social inclusion. The transfer will last for up to ten years. Organizations will be able to renovate and adapt the spaces according to their activities.

The measure aims to prevent the abandonment of symbolic addresses. At the same time, it intends to expand opportunities for communities in vulnerable situations. Properties that were previously closed or without a defined purpose will gain a new destination. The impact will be direct on the daily lives of different neighborhoods in the capital and also in Niterói.

Historical Properties Destined for Community Use

Among the addresses, the highlight is the house number 43 on Rua da Carioca, protected by the State Institute of Cultural Heritage (Inepac). The list also includes properties on Rua 24 de Maio, 983, in Sampaio, on Rua Gregório Neves, in Engenho Novo, on Rua São Luiz Gonzaga, 107, in São Cristóvão, on Avenida Dom Hélder Câmara, 6,860, in Pilares, and on Avenida Meriti, 486, in Vila da Penha. Outside the capital, the program includes a building on Rua Visconde de Moraes, 249, in Ingá, Niterói.

Criteria and Priorities Defined by the Notice

The public call, officially published in the Official Gazette on September 12, 2025, establishes criteria for participation. Entities must primarily operate in areas related to culture, equity, and promotion of opportunities. The aim is to transform the spaces into centers for social, educational, and cultural activities.

In addition, the transfer will last for up to ten years. Organizations will be able to make structural renovations and adaptations according to their project needs. For the government, the measure reinforces the importance of continuous and responsible occupancy of the properties. The expected impact is a direct benefit to the surrounding communities.

Expected Impacts on Fluminense Communities

The public policy promises to transform unused addresses into hubs of coexistence and citizenship. With the new contracts, the expectation is that cultural, social, and educational projects will occupy the spaces. This will ensure greater circulation of people and revitalization of urban areas.

Public administration and heritage management experts state that the initiative may represent a step forward in the model of integration between the State and the third sector. The program expands the network of cultural and social services without direct costs to the state administration. Furthermore, by allowing entities to make adaptations, the government encourages sustainability and reduces the risks of abandonment.

Timeline of the Program

The transfer process follows official steps and already has a defined timeline:

09/12/2025: publication of the public call in the Official Gazette.
September to December 2025: analysis of the proposals submitted by the entities.
First Half of 2026: signing of the transfer agreements and beginning of renovations.
Until 2035: maximum duration of the free use period.

This timeline ensures predictability for interested organizations. At the same time, it reinforces the transparency of the process in compliance with public heritage usage regulations.

Governance, Preservation, and Future Impact

Although the transfer of properties represents a step forward, the government emphasizes the need for continuous oversight. Strict compliance with contracts will be essential to ensure results. Thus, in addition to preserving protected assets, the measure guarantees that social projects have a real impact on communities.

According to the State Institute of Cultural Heritage (Inepac), the use of the house on Rua da Carioca symbolizes the union between historical preservation and social function. The space can become a cultural landmark in the heart of downtown Rio.

What to Expect from This Initiative in the Future?

The transfer of public properties to the third sector reflects a trend of greater proximity between the State and civil society. However, effectiveness will depend on the entities’ capacity to present solid and sustainable projects.

If successful, the measure could serve as a model for other regions of the country. Furthermore, it enhances the preservation of heritage and strengthens public policies aimed at culture and social inclusion.

What to Expect from This Initiative in the Future?

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

Cell phones in schools: learn how a year after the ban, students and teachers are already noticing positive effects and recording improvements in academic performance with increased attention and active participation.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.
