This article approaches the housing conditions of Bolivian immigrants in São Paulo, inquiring to what extent there is a correlation between the “illusion of the provisional” – which is inherent to the immigrant’s condition (Sayad, 1998) – and the precarious housing solutions of these immigrants in the city, which can be defined as home of poverty and (or) “urban nomadism” (Véras, 2003b; 2016a). Both qualitative methods (mainly composed by interviews conducted with Bolivians in the districts of Brás and Grajaú) and quantitative methods (mainly composed by the study of the Demographic Census of IBGE) were used. The research findings show interdependence between the precarious housing solutions of these immigrants and the idea that they will only stay provisionally in this country.
