Our work on Community-Led Housing (CLH) supports communities worldwide in creating adequate, secure and affordable homes. Our mission is to strengthen the CLH sector by increasing knowledge and capacity where it’s needed most.
We help develop CLH solutions in three key areas:
- Informal settlements
- Former refugee camps
- Housing markets dominated by private ownership in Central & South-Eastern Europe
Through strategic partnerships in Brazil, Bangladesh, Central & South-Eastern Europe, and globally, we provide:
- Small grants to support local projects
- Expert guidance from the World Habitat team
- Exchange activities, including training and workshops, to share knowledge and technical expertise
- Research on leading practice in CLH
We aim to:
- Help partners progress toward securing community-led housing.
- Develop resources and tools to move CLH projects from concept to reality.
- Foster peer-to-peer connections and networking among CLH organizations.
We are steering the CLH Programme to:
- Promote environmentally responsible housing solutions.
- Support climate adaptation, resilience, and disaster displacement prevention.
- Advance diversity and inclusion in the housing sector.
