National Urban Housing and Habitat Policy-2007JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Presentation looks at the intent, content and scope of National Housing Policy 2007; Housing Finance Institutions, PMAY(U), in the context of housing for all in urban India
Public Private Partnership in Affordable HousingJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Presentation is an attempt to showcase the need and methods of promoting public sector involvement in the Housing to achieve the goal of housing for all by 2022
Allan Cain, DW Director, gave a presentation on "Housing Micro-Finance & Informal Land Markets: the case of KixiCrédito Angola" at the Panel of the Centre for African Housing Finance Habitat 3 Conference on Informal Settlements that took place in Pretoria, South Africa from April 7 to 8, 2016
Angola has made a declaration of the political will of the State to resolve the urban problems associated with the post-conflict shortfall in the supply of housing. Public commitments have been made by senior political officials regarding the urgency of ensuring that each citizen has a decent place to live (the most important being the promise made by the head of state in 2008 – to build 1 million homes). From the practical point of view, Angola’s housing policy is still being developed along with a formalised housing sector programme.
CNU President and CEO John Norquist joins members of the CNU board for the latest on CNU’s agenda for change in federal laws and practices. Special guests include the Center for Neighborhood Technology's Scott Bernstein — who will describe urbanist opportunities in the HUD and DOT Sustainable Communities partnership, on which he's consulted extensively — and Nick Donohue, Virginia Assistant Secretary of Transportation, who has helped supply Gov. Tim Kaine with the right combination of reform ideas and value propositions to usher in a set of new policies requiring better connected local street networks, identified urban development areas, and coordinated land use and development planning where the state makes transportation investments. The Virginia experience offers lessons for taking similar pro-urban policies to other states and the federal level, including the message that only when transportation design moves beyond an exclusive focus on mobility to consider mobility and proximity together can truly cost-effective and lasting solutions emerge. Moderated by Jacky Grimshaw.

California’s New Affordable Housing Laws – Part OneMeyers Nave
Governor Brown signed 15 bills into law on September 29, 2017 that are designed to help address California's affordable housing crisis. The new laws have broad implications and obligations for local municipalities, housing related public agencies, and the private developer community. To help explain the new affordable housing regulatory landscape, Meyers Nave is offering a complimentary, three-part webinar series addressing the most critical issues under the new laws.
This presentation covers the following topics:
- New "permanent source" of funds in SB 2
- SB 3 bond on November 2018 ballot
- New inclusionary housing authority in AB 1505
- Tax Increment funding by Affordable Housing Authorities through AB 1598
- Approaches being taken by local governments, including bond measures in Bay Area counties and a linkage fee in the City of Los Angeles
Zimbabwe
Homeless People’s Federation was established in 1998 and was officially
launched by the then Minister of Local Government - the late Hon. John Nkomo.
•
The
Federation consists of a countrywide network of 323 housing savings groups that
save for housing and livelihoods with a membership of 9310.
•
To
date, the Federation has secured around 5000 plots and installed services in
75% of these plus constructing 3000 low-cost housing units.
•
The
work of the Federation focuses on mobilising urban homeless communities around
housing savings groups and then support engagement with key stakeholders such
as government around land negotiations and policy review.
The expiry of social housing operating agreements presents both opportunities and challenges. Join us for an update on the “big picture” analysis of the issue in New Brunswick along with practical advice and resources on planning for expiry to help ensure viability of your organization.

Empowering the Unbanked: The Vital Role of NBFCs in Promoting Financial Inclu...Vighnesh Shashtri
In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions. This article delves into how NBFCs are fostering financial inclusion and empowering the unbanked.
1. Housing Sector Challenges
•Substantial unmet housing demand – 200,000 units per year needed
•Acute shortage of buildable land in urban areas
•Near absence of formal housing finance
•Incomplete legal and regulatory system for private sector investment in housing
•Infrastructure backlogs
•Many households cannot afford decent housing
•Deteriorated rental stock
•Undercapitalized construction sector
•Lack of established procedures to address unplanned settlements
2. Key Housing Policies – Enabling Approach
Land
• Prioritise infill developments
• Encourage land wholesaling to mobilise capital for land development
• Establish land inventories
• Undertake electronic land title registration processes
• Progressively remove subsidies on the allocation of public land, and introduce
sunset clauses on undeveloped allocated land
• Institute fair and appropriately scaled system of real estate taxes
Housing Production
• Establish a level playing field to support private developers
• Rationalise housing SoEs
• Encourage PPPs and cooperatives for housing delivery
3. Housing Policies – Enabling Approach
Housing Finance
• Encourage commercial banks to enter the market by:
- Reviewing legal currently restrictive framework (foreclosure law)
- Establishing NHF and REB as second-tier financing instruments to capitalise
commercial housing finance providers
• Modify building standards to make housing more affordable
• Utilise government banks to provide targeted low-interest loans to poor/
vulnerable HH
• Encourage more extensive use of loans for housing extension and improvement
Infrastructure for Housing
• Increase capital investments and improve maintenance/ management
• Upgrade Trunk Infrastructure
• Promote private sector involvement in the development and management of
housing infrastructure (explore PPPs)
4. Housing Policies – Enabling Approach
Housing Management and Maintenance
• Increase inspection of private/public rental housing through commuity based
methods to improve compliance with minimum standards
• Privatize maintenance services of public rental stock
Housing Construction Materials
•Introduce financial instruments to support materials producers
• Promote international joint ventures
• Standardize operating environment and rationalize SoEs
• Promote environmentally friendly, local production
Informal Housing
• Upgrade/ redevelop on a case by case basis using standardised criteria
• Resettlement undertaken fairly, with consultation and compensation
5. Housing Policies – Achievement so far
Land
• Land policy vision, studies undertaken (PMAC), state land policy drafted – nothing
yet submitted to COM
• Land inventory piloted (MMPW)
• Digitisation of land registry underway (MoJ RERD, USAID)
Housing Production
• Rationalization of MoCH SoEs initiated/ under discussion as a pilot in a PMAC led
programme to rationalize SoEs
Housing Finance
• Capacity Building of Iraqi Private Bankers League in regard to housing finance
(USAID); dialogue on reforming legal framework
6. Housing Policies – Achievement so far
Informal Housing
• Informal Settlement Upgrading piloted in Erbil and initiated in Baghdad
(Governorates, line ministries and UN-Habitat)
• Studies completed on Baghdad informal settlements utilizing land sharing
mechanisms to redevelop high value informal settlements (UN-Habitat)
Constraints
• Renewed focus of MoCH on traditional housing delivery mechanisms to meet
urgency of current demand
• Communication strategy has been insufficient
• Commitment of relevant institutions in implementing the policy is not yet
translated into significant programmes and budgeted actions
Result so far: Limited progress on implementation, therefore limited
impacts
7. Suggested Way Forward
Housing Policy provides appropriate directions in creating a well functioning
housing market, and should remain a medium - long term goal
Contributing institutions should reflect on progress and consider whether this
approach is well understood, feasible given the limited interaction between
ministries, and has sufficient political support
If there is political will to move forward, Housing Policy implementation requires
unified vision and serious commitment of relevant institutions, strong leadership
and adequate resources
Additionally, short – medium term mechanisms/ instruments are required in
order to rapidly address the housing needs, particularly for the poor
8. Income: USD/month
Affordable Housing (Rent to Buy) model
2000
Land /Housing is often “allocated.” Housing provision
constrained by ineffective housing market
Often informal/inadequate housing
Requires housing assistance

population
9. Rent to Buy model
Housing Agency provides low cost housing - ideally within mixed use
development, or mixed housing developments
Housing Agency is capitalized by government and through value capture
mechanisms on mixed-use developments by private developers
Housing units cost are 75 sqm and cost approx 30,000 USD to build
Housing is provided on a rental basis (eg 75 USD / month – ie 3% per year of
building cost). This makes it affordable to HH with incomes of 300 USD or
more
HH on lower incomes are provided with rent support based on a periodic
means test
HH are encouraged to own asset through repaying capital
Rent is reduced proportionate to share of ownership

12. Land Sharing: Al Bahith El Almi: proposed
Outcomes
Net positive Cash
Flow: 115 Billion IQD
(US$98.6 million)
Annual Internal rate
of return: 68%
13. Value Capture through Land Sharing:
What does it take?
• An agreement from the land custodian (or custodians) to redevelop the
site.
• An expeditious conversion of the legal land use as agricultural/protected
green zone to the proposed residential and commercial uses.
• An initial investment of 27.5 Billion IQD (US$23.6 million).
14. Recommendations:
• Continue with Housing Policy Implementation to establish an
effective housing market
• Expedite housing delivery by establishing a land development
agency that develops land for mixed uses, and uses value capture
mechanisms to capitalise assisted housing for vulnerable and low
income families.
[urban informal settlements are a good place to start; land is often
high value, has access to trunk infrastructure, local amenities,
sources of livelihood, and they in any case need to be addressed]
• Establish a Housing Management Organization that provides
housing to vulnerable and low-income families on a Rent to Buy
basis
