International Housing Coalition By Anjali Bean
International Housing Coalition • Founded in 2005 by: • Habitat for Humanity • National Association of Realtors (U.S.) • Canadian Real Estate Association • Mission: to raise the profile of housing and and slums on the global humanitarian and development agenda • Membership organization supported by ~35 members • Focus on education, advocacy, and dissemination of information.
IHC Activities(Humanitarian & Development) • A blurring line between the two, especially in urban settings • Donor funding is not set up to facilitate the transition between the two. • IHC worked closely with USAID in Haiti directly after the earthquake: unfortunately politics and complexity won • Working with the Shelter and Settlements Working Group to devise a humanitarian advocacy campaign to address this gap.
