Housing Finance and Resource Mobilization

This is the report of a second Habitat International Coalition workshop on housing finance and resource mobilization held in 1996. The workshop brought together 20 professionals and practitioners working within the field of loan finance for housing and neighbourhood developments in low-income settlements. Case studies of housing finance programmes from South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Philippines, Thailand, India, Argentina, Colombia, and Brazil were presented and the experiences of those taking part allowed the discussions to draw on a much wider range of projects and programmes.
