How we deliver our vision

Through the World Habitat Awards, we identify promising housing solutions, help them to grow stronger and inspire others, expanding their reach to new communities.

Our strategy is based on three areas of work:

Find

We look for emerging ideas that solve housing challenges.

Strengthen

We help organisations to grow their housing solutions.

Transfer

We help proven ideas take root in new communities.

Our Theory of Change

Through our ‘find, strengthen and transfer’ activities, we believe our work will result in more:

  • Sustainable organisations providing safe and secure housing at scale for people in need.
  • Active networks of housing organisations and innovators, sharing skills and learning together.
  • Housing innovations that transfer into new geographies and contexts through changes in policy and practice.

With these changes, we can create a world where the most successful housing innovations become mainstream practice providing safe secure homes for those in need.
