Description
Despite the global housing deficit affecting nearly 1.8B people, fewer than 10% of families can access formal financing. This session brings together leaders who are unlocking investment capital to create scalable housing solutions. Discover how innovative financing models in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are transforming the housing landscape in emerging markets, and how these approaches can be applied globally.
With four leaders representing housing progress across three continents, this discussion will cover affordable, climate-smart housing solutions, how housing empowers women and improves multiple outcomes, the importance of government partnership in affordable housing initiatives, and our shared imperative to find solutions for the global unhoused.
