Our Impact

A single home can unlock opportunity across education, health, gender equality, climate resilience, financial inclusion, and economic growth.  That’s because it’s not just a house – it’s a job-creating, GDP-boosting, health-improving, climate-fighting engine of human potential.

Transforming Lives and Communities

For families living on low incomes, a secure, affordable home is often the most significant asset they will ever own. It provides stability, dignity and a foundation to build a better future.

Secure tenure enables people to:

• Access decent work and self-employment

• Improve health and wellbeing

• Invest in education

• Participate more fully in the local economy

• Plan for the long term with confidence

Safe, resilient homes create a sense of control, improve mental and physical wellbeing, and support stronger labour-market participation. They are a proven driver of poverty reduction.

Driving Climate and Development Outcomes

We have demonstrated that climate-smart affordable homes can:

• Reduce emissions and build resilience in rapidly growing cities

• Expand access to clean energy and sustainable infrastructure

• Improve water, sanitation and hygiene outcomes

• Advance gender equality, disability inclusion and financial inclusion

• Stimulate local markets and create jobs

• Strengthen financial systems through responsible, scalable housing finance

In fact, affordable housing touches 16 out of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, making it one of the most catalytic investments available today.

A Platform for Shared Prosperity

When we create vibrant, well-serviced communities—places people want to live, businesses want to operate, and investors want to invest—we help build more secure, inclusive, and climate-resilient societies.

Our work demonstrates how affordable housing can:

• Drive macroeconomic growth

• Attract private capital

• Strengthen local construction ecosystems

• Unlock circular, climate-aligned markets at scale
