9 Housing Policies The Facts 81%of housing price increases explained by rising land prices.
10 Housing Policies The Facts Role of the State, with or without natural disasters: - Regulation. (eg. land use, zoning, building codes, competition, consumer protection, financial supervision). - Credit promotion.

21 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing
22 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing Is it affordable? Is it technically feasible? Is it scalable? Can it be financed with a combination of public and private funding? Can it be combined with additional home improvements that enhance the quality of life of families? Can it be combined with a program of formalization of informal constructions?
23 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing Key components 1. Housing Triage. 2. Affordable structural strengthening solutions. 3. Redesign of home improvement subsidies. 4. Incentives for households and microfinance institutions to invest in additional improvements. 5. Regularization of informal constructions for land owners who invest in the structural strengthening of their homes.
24 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 1. Housing Triage. Types of housing in the City of Guatemala, Guatemala 36% 1 floor, confined masonry with a 32% 1 floor, confined masonry with a 17% 2 floors, confined masonry with a 15% 2 floors, confined masonry with a lightweight roof sturdy roof lightweight roof sturdy roof Types of housing in Yogyakarta, Indonesia 34% Unreinforced masonry 42% 1 floor, confined masonry 21% 2 floors, confined masonry 3% 1 floor wood frame
25 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 2. Affordable structural strengthening solutions. Cost of structural strengthening in the City of Guatemala, Guatemala 1 floor, confined masonry 1 floor, confined masonry 2 floors, confined masonry 2 floors, confined masonry with a lightweight roof with a sturdy roof with a lightweight roof with a sturdy roof US$ 4,000 US$ 1,900 US$ 3,400 US$ 3,300 Cost of structural strengthening in Yogyakarta, Indonesia Unreinforced 1 floor, confined 2 floors, confined 1 floor wood masonry masonry masonry frame US$ 3,150 US$ 2,900 US$ 1,950 US$ 3,900
26 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 2. Affordable structural strengthening solutions. Cost of structural strengthening in the United States Between 1% and 3% of the initial value of the structure: US$ 4,000 - US$ 5,000
27 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 2. Affordable structural strengthening solutions. Nepal
28 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 2. Affordable structural strengthening solutions. Haiti
29 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 2. Affordable structural strengthening solutions. Guatemala
30 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 3. Redesign of home improvement subsidies. The incremental process of housing construction Income Bedrooms Change of job Family
31 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 3. Redesign of home improvement subsidies. COLOMBIA - Construction of new housing (266,800) is very close to the creation of new households (282,600). - Cost of the Free Housing Program = US$ 1.5 billion = 30,376 emergencies, 1.6 million houses damaged and lost, estimated cost = US$ 5.6 billion percent of houses are exposed to seismic risks.
32 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 3. Redesign of housing improvement subsidies. COLOMBIA - Structural reinforcement subsidy = US$ 2, participants, 62 requirements, 117 steps in 705 days. - 12,732 structural reinforcement subsidies, out of a total of 504,507 housing solutions. - Regular inspections replace construction licenses (1 floor). - No link to formalization and microfinance.
33 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 4. Incentives for households and microfinance institutions to invest in additional improvements.
34 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 4. Incentives for households and microfinance institutions to invest in additional improvements. Home improvements or expansions requested by households: - Improvement of ventilation, bathrooms, kitchens, windows, interior partitions, natural light and electrical systems. - Improvement of the roof to make it more resistant to earthquakes and waterproof. - Vertical expansion.
35 Housing Policies Resilient Retrofit of (Informal) Housing 5. Regularization of informal constructions. Legal Condition of the Housing Unit Occupant with formal title Occupant with tenancy that can be formalized Occupant with tenancy that CANNOT be formalized Earthquake proof housing NON-earthquake proof housing Earthquake proof housing NON-earthquake proof housing NON-earthquake proof housing Vivienda NO sismo resistente Can be Strengthened CANNOT be Strengthened Can be Strengthened CANNOT be Strengthened Can be Strengthened CANNOT be Strengthened Improvement (rooms, additional bathroom, etc.) Formalization + Improvement Relocation, or demolition and construction of new housing Formalization + Improvement Formalization + Improvement Relocation, or demolition and construction of new housing Pending (for the passage of time to resolve the title issue) Relocation
36 Housing Policies The Time to Act
37 Housing Policies El momento de actuar NOW
38 Housing Policies Time to Act The 10 natural disasters causing the most property damages and losses have occurred since 2005.
39 Housing Policies Time to Act - The chance of being involved in a traffic accident on each trip you make is 1 in 100, Over a period of 50 years, the chance of being involved in a traffic accident is 1 in 3. - The chance that a home will be affected by flooding this year is 1 in Over a period of 25 years, the likelihood of being affected by flooding is 1 in 5.
40 Housing Policies Time to Act Housing Policies can: - Save (and improve) lives and help close the housing gap. - Combine public and private investment to protect assets and improve the housing stock. - Shield economies against the risk of disasters at a fraction of the cost.
