INTRODUCING A SAFE AND PERMANENT HOUSING MODEL TO HAITI
FOREWORD
Cordaid, the local Haitian authority, the Affordable Housing Institute and the Foyer Sainte Marie are introducing a new
housing model in Port-au-Prince.
An innovative financial model seeks to generate a loan for affordable housing at Haitian banks through a combination of
grants, a construction loan and a permanent loan, the residents repaying what is affordable.
We ensure the housing is earth quake resistant and demand driven since the families will save and pay for the new houses.
The incremental housing makes the housing units fit for economic and productive purposes.
Apart from construction of the houses and the financing scheme, residents are organized in a savings cooperative and
supported towards achieving more self-reliance, independency and ownership of the houses.
“Housing is the place where the society
of tomorrow arises”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2
this plan will demonstrate that:
■■ Carefully selected residents are willing and able to
Cordaid, working with the local Haitian authority, the
Affordable Housing Institute (AHI), and the landlord the
Foyer Sainte Marie (FSM, a Haitian Catholic institute with a
social mission to serve the most vulnerable), are currently
undertaking the redevelopment of an existing neighborhood
including 75 homes in Canapé Vert (CV), Port-au- Prince
(PaP), Haiti (see maps one and two).
This development is not just about improving one neighborhood, but supporting the design and implementation of
replicable tools and relationships that will provide proof
of concept for a scalable approach to sustainable urban
redevelopment of Port-au-Prince. It aims to do this by
leveraging local resources and introducing a conventional
real estate financing model that relies on the contributions
of the future home occupants. Once this approach to deliver
permanent, safe and affordable housing is funded and
implemented, it will serve as a model for the development of
earthquake-affected and low-income communities in other
parts of Haiti; many will seek to replicate it. Linking and
learning with other housing actors in Haiti, especially the
government of Haiti is an essential and continuous aspect of
this proposal.
The innovation lies in the financial model. This financial
model relies on using legal and contractual forms proven
elsewhere in the world, and applying them for the first time
to post-earthquake Haiti. One of the most difficult hurdles
in Haiti has already been taken; the team has site control of
underutilized parcels in a well accessible location close to
the inner-city of Port-au-Prince, (see annexes A,B,C) via an
agreement with the landowner under long- term lease from
the Government of Haiti (GoH). An extensive Redevelopment
Plan, is also ready. It highlights how this approach will
fundamentally change the options for affordable housing
delivery and maintenance in Haiti. We will use a multistakeholder approach to development, connecting key actors
(government, residents, private sector, financial institutions,
housing experts) to develop, and then mutually agreed upon,
safe and permanent housing solutions.

pay for improved housing. Occupancy cost is within
reasonable means of people who live there (30-35% of
their average income).
■■ Residents are making regular payments, and they have
a history of making timely payment.
■■ The redeveloped of inner-city informally inhabited
land is viable.
■■ Haitian financial institutions are willing to lend down
stream.
■■ Housing can be affordable, adequate, as well as
according to requirement and culture of the residents.
Occupants can incrementally improve their housing
over time.
■■ Housing means a livable neighborhood with income
opportunities as well as ownership and access to
capital. All people on the land are occupying durable
earthquake resistant housing with basic utilities.
■■ The new condominium law can be successfully put in
practice for the first time.
■■ An NGO can be ‘enabler of housing production’ instead
of ‘provider of houses’ and disperser of ‘free-money’.
The neighborhood is sustained by locally, and
international agency support is no longer needed.
our vision of succes:
■■ Visible change. The neighborhood will be of higher
quality. A livable neighborhood where people enjoy
living.
■■ Financial independence. The fully sourced model will
enable the community to be financially independent
when it transitions to ongoing ownership (by
the residents or by their co-operative group) and
operations. Subsidy and donor commitments will be
finite in time and in amount.
■■ Reliability and regularity of customer payments. This
model includes a charitable component, but residents
will be required to make, and will be making, regular
payments (of debt service, rent, maintenance charges,
or other) via a culture of financial responsibility
instilled by the savings and financing scheme.

the earthquake
The 2010 earthquake exposed and exacerbated Haiti’s
pre-existing housing shortcomings. Haiti’s 1987
Constitution calls for adequate housing for all Haitians,
yet more than 90% of Port-au-Prince is informally built
– and informal housing is growing much faster than
formal.
Responding to housing needs requires addressing all steps
in the supply chain to ensure ongoing permanent and safe
housing production is possible even without assistance from
external . This includes finding a means to ensure security of
tenure on viable land that is accessible to social and livelihoods opportunities; supporting quality housing development through construction finance and oversight; ensuring
affordability through subsidy and housing finance; and
putting in place ongoing management and maintenance of
the housing stock.
The Haitian government envisions that the housing “will
be achieved through the production capacity of Haitian
families and the private sector” (Politique Nationale du
Logement, April 2012). To develop a housing policy that will
achieve this, the Haitian government has created a new
agency, the Unité de Construction du Logement et de Bâtiments Publics (UCLBP).
It is now recognized that in many ways, the relief effort
thwarted redevelopment: its emphasis on temporary alleviation precludes investment in permanent solutions, and its
focus on charity discourages co-investment, savings, and
self-help of residents, landlords and Haitian investors. Many
NGOs see this too, and are looking for more investmentoriented approaches.
But most of all, Haitians want self-determination. No longer
do they want to hold up their hand to the international
aid organizations. They want the opportunity to build, and
build on, the capacity of their own institutional systems and
private sector.

current status
Cordaid, AHI and the CASEC of Turgeau completed a
feasibility study and a housing redevelopment model
for various sites in the Canapé Vert area (in which Sainte
Marie is located) in September 2012.
This Redevelopment Concept contains:
■■ Identification of possible sites where the land owners can
become part of the solution;
■■ Site evaluation and building condition evaluation;
■■ Possible starter homes;
■■ Proposed roles and responsibilities;
■■ A financing strategy;
■■ Estimates of required subsidy/ grants and their timing;
■■ Risks and mitigations.
The FSM (www.saintemarie.foyer.fr) approached Cordaid in
November 2012 to jointly redevelop the largely inadequate
housing stock of their community. A memorandum of
understanding between the two parties was signed in
April 2013.
Initial funding has been secured and the pre-development
phase is underway. 80,000 Euros ($103.788) was granted
by Trocaire. Cordaid and The Affordable Housing Institute
pre-invested towards the feasibility study and lobbying and
advocacy. The European Union contributed another 100,000
Euros ($129.375 ) through the KVLK project (joint Cordaid /
local authority project for revitalisation of Canapé Vert).
Information has been provided to local residents and other
stakeholders to have their commitment. The local inhabitants will be paying a substantial fraction of the development
costs. The concept of having a ‘mortgage’ is new to them.
A cooperative structure of savings in Sainte Marie and
a partnership between Cordaid, Foyer Sainte Marie and
Kanapé Vert in housing construction are currently being
established.

This program is replicable because it demonstrates the
way a conventional real estate model can work to improve
informal urban neighborhoods, where an international
relief and development agency, Cordaid, acts as a facilitator
to promote and assist Haitian private sector participation,
and to structure durable relationships between these actors
and low-income residents:
1. Investments, not relief. This program aims at long-term
physically sustainable property that people can, and do,
pay for.
2. Use of legal, contractual, financial, and ownership
mechanisms based on the real estate model. This program
places entities in well-defined contractual roles with
accountability on both sides.

3.A HOUSING VALUE CHAIN
Real estate development is a complicated multi- stage
activity that requires sequencing so that each step
creates the conditions for success in the next step, and
minimizes financial risk. Consistent with that reality,
our program envisions to be undertaken in three phases:
predevelopment, construction/ redevelopment, and
offtake/operations.
■■ Phase 1 (6 months). Pre-development (in progress since
May 2013). (a) Create the joint-venture legal development
entity among the FSM, the development team, and a
to-be-formed residents’ savings cooperative. (b) Assess the
residents’ willingness to participate in the project and
their ability to pay for a housing or house improvement
loan (c) Engage a local financial institution as savings
custodian. (d) Sign a land transfer agreement with FSM
including a long-term land lease option (at completion)
to residents.
■■ Phase 2 (12-15 months). Construction and
redevelopment. (a) Borrow a construction loan.
(b) Redevelop the site. (c) Renovate salvageable homes
and support residents in the repair of their homes.
(d) Demolish and rebuild unsalvageable homes via in-situ
housing process.
■■ Phase 3 (7-10 years). Offtake and operations. Residents
take out a long-term co-operative loan for part of the
total development cost. Grants pay down the rest of the
construction loan.

4.THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND
COMMUNITY OF ST. MARIE
Various sub-sites are being considered on the land of
the FSM. (map two) The site and population of FSM is
ideal in demonstrating the model. It has many
characteristics of Port-au-Prince informal neigh­
borhoods, but simultaneously also carries less risks:
■■ High percentage of earthquake-affected residents living
in the area. Over 60% of the houses on site were damaged
by earthquake. In need for durable housing units and
access to water, formal electricity, and proper waste
management many of the affected residents continue
to live in the same transitional shelters. Due to the low
density of the site, long- established residents were
joined by other IDPs or/ and “unofficial” residents, who
occupied underutilized land and started to invest in
semi-durable housing solutions. As a consequence, the
FSM gradually lost control of over the site and started
to seek external support to redevelop the neighborhood
and to move its earthquake affected community into
durable housing units.
Transitional post disaster shelters were built in Sainte Marie
■■ No problematic land-title issues. Unlike much of
Port-au-Prince, land ownership is clear.
■■ High accessibility for basic services and infrastructure

development. The site is accessible and well connected
on the road connecting Petionville to Port-au-Prince.
Additionally a church, a school and a medical health care
center are directly located on the site.

5.DEMAND DRIVEN
DEVELOPMENT
In situ redevelopment can be done only with the active
support and work by the residents, the land owner and
the authorities. Community involvement is integral to
Cordaid’s approach to any project.
Housing stock in Sainte Marie is often substandard
■■ Receptiveness of the community. The community of
Saint Marie is well established and organized through
the community building efforts undertaken by the FSM
and Cordaid. Due to the security of tenure and high
accessibility of employment sources, it is therefore
assumed that residents are capable and willing to invest
in their home.
■■ Density of occupancy. Around 300 households live in
Sainte Marie (~1700 individuals) on 12.5 hectares
(32 acres). There is room to redevelop.
■■ Pre-existing relationships with the community and local
stakeholders. Cordaid has a firm relationship with the
stakeholders of Sainte Marie through previous programs.
■■ Contribution to the issue of gender equality. As many as
70% of households in FSM are headed by women. Women
will be trained in money management and financial
literacy.
Residents wanting to take advantage of this housing project
have to fulfill the criteria; history of living in the FSM,
willingness to participate in the project, and the fulfillment
of contractual savings obligations.
OCTOBER 2013 © CORDAID
Thus, existing FSM residents will be a part of defining a
common vision for the development; they will participate
in planning sessions on site design and housing typology.
Residents who fulfill their savings obligations will become
eligible to be shareholders in the real estate co-op, and
hence gain ownership stakes in their homes, which will be
improved with residents own efforts using owner-drivenhousing techniques. Participation continues long into
offtake, as the residents must maintain regular payments
and are active participants in the ongoing maintenance
and operations of the community. The first steps towards
engaging the community have been taken as of May 2013,
which have included group meetings, and agreements with
the landowner.

6. FINANCIAL MODEL
As shown in the diagram, the financial model anticipates
both development financing (groundbreaking through
completion) and permanent financing (occupancy/ offtake
through operations for many years), with a construction
loan larger than the permanent loan (to be repaid by the
residents) and with a multi-phase grant taking the place
of commercial debt or permanent economic equity.
The project financing is designed as classical real estate,
with a sought grant filling the funding gap, and a resident
paying what is affordable, given their repayment capacity.
This approach will mitigate risks and align incentives.
More specifics are available in the cost analysis, which
quantifies the anticipated costs and funding gaps.
Initial analysis has estimated total development costs as
being in the range of $2.74 million. Of this, residents can pay
about $335,000, assuming that they (1) form a savings collective, and (2) secure a co-op loan they can afford (payments
equal to 30% of average monthly income). This leaves an
aggregate cost-value gap of $2.4 million that will need to be
funded through grants, and of this, we secured
$341,000 in external sources (EU, Trocaire and Cordaid
pre-investment), leaving $2.1 million required to be funded
by sought grants.

ABOUT THE PARTNERS
Cordaid has been active in Haiti for 40 years and directly active in Canapé Vert since 2009. Cordaid has recently finalized
their post-earthquake integrated neighborhood reconstruction program in the informal settlements of Canapé Vert.
Currently Cordaid in partnership with the local authorities,
the CASEC of Turgeau, are strengthening local governance
in Canapé Vert with three years of funding from the EU.
The project, Kanapeve Leve Kanpe, provides a solid underpinning for the proposed housing; the relationships between
partners are harnessed through project implementation,
land rights and urban planning are engaged with, there is
funding towards a residents survey and the construction
cost of permanent housing and more.
The legacy has been the creation of durable relationships
with local community stakeholders and representatives at
both local and national levels, as well as a strong reputation
among key actors in the international development community. The organization has made a strategic decision to
transition from being a relief agency to being the convener
in the integrated neighborhood development in Canapé
Vert, Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

As a US §501(c)(3) public charity, Affordable Housing Institute
makes ecosystemic change in affordable housing for low
income households around the world, principally by acting
as a low-bono consultant to Mission Entrepreneurial
Entities in the global south. In partnership with Cordaid,
grow innovative new business models and financing tools
and products that enable them to access capital at scale in
Haiti. In addition to this redevelopment, a model is being
developed for the formalization of a community currently
living in a displacement camp north of the city.

Foyer Sainte Marie in Canapé Vert approached Cordaid to
jointly enter into redeveloping the largely inadequate
housing stock of the Foyer. The Foyer of St. Marie is a
Catholic Institute with a social mission to give the most
vulnerable a dignified way of living and working. In April
2013 a MoU was signed stating that The Foyer of St. Marie
will become a co- developer by making available the land
(annex D). Additional binding agreements including a Land
Agreement will be signed in the future explaining the role,
responsibility and privileges of the parties. The Land Owner
will also become a partner in the development entity.

ANNEXES
The land title has been clarified by formal Decret in Le Moniteur, published 26 January 1967 (see Appendix A), which we
have confirmed via authorized notary (see Appendix C), and the DGI (see Appendix B). Following these land ownership
verification steps, an MoU was signed in April 2013 giving the development team site control. At the beginning of Phase 2,
this will be superseded by binding land-use and organization agreements will assure that the residents’ co-operative will
gain control at offtake.

Phases de
développement:
Le Développement comprendra trois phases, comme suit:

Phase 1: Négociation et rassemblement des ressources. Cette période
couvre de la date de signature du présent protocole d’entente jusqu’au
point à partir duquel tout le financement nécessaire a été obtenu (en
espèces ou par des engagements contraignants) en compatibilité avec ce
plan de financement, pour assurer le démarrage -- lorsque le prêt de
développement sera clos.

Phase II: Reconstruction et réaménagement. Cette période va de la clôture
du financement (particulièrement du prêt à l’aménagement) à la
construction/reconstruction des logements et à l’achat par les ménages
individuels de leurs actions dans la SavingsCo en vue de la constitution du
« prêt permanent ».

Phase III: Prélèvements et fonctionnement/opérations. Cette phase couvre la
mise en place du « prêt permanent » et le développement du prêt a été
entièrement remboursé à travers une combinaison de prêts permanents
et la troisième tranche de la subvention.
La phase 1 pourrait durer entre 6 à 12 mois, la phase 2 entre 6 à 12, soit au
total un intervalle de 12 à 24 mois avant pour le développement.
5.
Entité actionnaire
HaitiCo, (le “Promoteur”), sera une entité à but unique (SPE) avec deux groupes
d’actionnaires:

Actionnaires de catégorie B, à savoir l’équipe de développement ( AHI, Cordaid CASEC de Turgeau et FSM) 
Actionnaires de catégorie A à savoir les résidents du site. Les chefs de ménage
qui occupent des propriétés sur le site auront chacun une action de
catégorie A.
Pendant les périodes de pré-aménagement et d’aménagement, l’autorité de
Haiti Co sera confiée aux actionnaires de catégorie B. Une fois le
financement permanent en place, la commande sera dévolue aux actionnaires
de catégorie A, sous réserve de certains droits limités aux actionnaires de la
catégorie B à intervenir si le prêt permanent est en défaut ou en danger de
défaut de paiement.

annex e: why incremental housing?
Apart from the financial and organizational aspects of the
project, site planning and housing design plays a crucial role
in ensuring success of the project. The process of design and
construction needs to be suited to the context of the project,
and cater to the needs of the prospective inhabitants.
The images below provide an example of how design that
foresees an eventual much bigger building can progress
from the first stage.
Important elements to consider in the design are:
■■ Accessibility
■■ Suitability to the terrain
■■ Sustainability (for example the use of solar energy and
water storage)
■■ Availability of public space
■■ The housing units should be usable for various purposes
■■ The housing units should be natural-harzard-proof
■■ The housing units should be expandable
The final element is important in a country where families
live in, and build on, the same house over generations. This
is especially important when prospective owners take on a
long-term commitment like a mortgage.
The concept of expandable, or incremental, housing is well
documented and appreciated. It originates in the observation that many families in Haiti already build their houses
in this manner, and that the quality of these houses can be
improved by providing technical and legal support.
Cities Alliance mentions six reasons for choosing to support
incremental housing processes:
(www. citiesalliance.org/sites/citiesalliance.org/files/CIVIS_3_
English.pdf )
■■ The fact that more households can be supported by
facilitating existing incremental processes
■■ Using private local funding. Reducing the costs of the
intervention and promoting feelings of ownership
■■ The reduced load on governmental management systems
when residents take on ‘housing’ themselves
■■ The ability to regulate informal neighborhoods through
supporting incremental housing processes
■■ The opportunity to develop local participatory governance
systems
■■ Potential socio-economic spin-off effects: people joining
forces towards economic development for example.
