This study was conducted in five informal neighborhoods in Bogotá, applying 355 surveys and 29 in-depth interviews using a biographical approach. The results show the economic centrality of housing for these vulnerable households. They confirm that their houses are increasingly important to contain crises and in good times the house is the first to be invested in. In terms of social mobility, in some cases, the house has allowed for children to study, but in others its construction has provoked disinvestment in human capital. In short, for these households, owning a house has a role in containing the insecurities –typical of current capitalism and the neoliberal state– of the social system. Este artículo indaga en la forma en que los hogares propietarios, habitantes de barrios populares consolidados, movilizan su vivienda en sus estrategias familiares de vida. El estudio se realizó en cinco barrios de origen informal de Bogotá, se aplicaron 355 encuestas y 29 entrevistas a propietarios usando el enfoque biográfico. Los resultados dan cuenta de la centralidad económica de la vivienda para los hogares con mayor vulnerabilidad. Se confirma que la casa les ayuda a contener las crisis y en los momentos de bonanza se invierte en ella en primer lugar. En cuanto a las estrategias de movilidad social, la vivienda ha permitido, en algunos casos, apalancar el estudio de los hijos, pero en otros su construcción ha provocado desinversión en capital humano. En síntesis, para estos hogares, la casa propia tiene el papel de contener las inseguridades -propias del capitalismo actual y del estado neoliberal- del sistema social.
