Abstract
The Bolsa Familia Program – PBF is an example of action that requires intersectorial efforts and contributes to implementation of the the Brazilian government National System of Food and Nutrition Security (SISAN, in the Portuguese abbreviation). Beneficiary families are in the most vulnerable situation, as they have to face the complexity of this condition. In this sense, the intersectorial approach is the political strategy that has been used by the main public policies in Brazil. This is a Case Study in hills in the municipality of Santos, which has aimed to characterize the profile of PBF beneficiaries, mapping and reflecting on the intersectorial actions implemented or under construction and to gather information on the perception by service managers about the program. Therefore, questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The profile has been defined by descriptive analysis and interviews were analyzed by content analysis. Five key informants of social, health and education services of hills in Santos were interviewed. The profile of the beneficiaries was in line with the program objectives, but there is no access of services to unified data. The actions have been restricted to sectored monitoring of PBF’s conditionalities. Managers’ perceptions about the program is that it fulfills its objectives, although it is not yet seen as a right. In this scenario, it is suggested that municipal investment should occur in different sectors, while rethinking policy actions and considering intersectoriality as an strategic axis. Having a unified information system would facilitate the work and the effectiveness of these actions, including promoting SAN, thus contributing directly to the implementation and consolidation of SISAN in the city.

Summary
Foram entrevistados dois gestores dos serviços de Saúde (unidades básicas de saúde), dois gestores da Educação (escolas) e um gestor do serviço da Assistência Social (CRAS), totalizando cinco entrevistas. As informações fornecidas pelos gestores dos serviços de saúde, assistência social e educação, dos morros Nova Cintra, Vila Progresso e Santa Maria, revelaram que o principal tipo de arranjo familiar entre os beneficiários do Programa Bolsa Família é o monoparental, ou seja, família composta por apenas um dos progenitores. Outra característica importante é que, na maioria das famílias beneficiárias, as mães é que são responsáveis pelo sustento da família e apresentam idade média entre 20 e 30 anos. Este aspecto informado é compatível com aquele descrito no relatório do IPEA,[17,40] que identifica no arranjo monoparental feminino, de mulheres adultas jovens, o perfil de famílias suscetíveis à situação de maior vulnerabilidade, por não poderem contar com o auxílio de outros adultos para a manutenção e cuidado com a família. Morros Nova Cintra, Vila Progresso e Santa Maria, Santos-SP, 2015
