10 YEARS OF COMMUNITY MANAGED DRR ESSENCE OF COMMUNITY MANAGED - RESULTS SURVEY 2013 - WAY FORWARD INTRODUCING A SAFE AND PERMANENT HOUSING MODEL TO HAITI INTEGRATED NEIGHBORHOOD REDEVELOPMENT OF CANAPÉ VERT THE HAGUE, THE NETHERLANDS OCTOBER 2013 PROSPECTUS 1 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” Raoul Pierre Louis, President of the Board of Directors of the Communal Section (CASEC) of Turgeau CASEC TIJO OCTOBER 2013 © CORDAID

CORDAID FROM RELIEF TO DEVELOPMENT - FINANCIAL MODEL - PARTNERS - MAPS - ANNEXES 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. the total funds required for this project are: Total project costs $ 2,740,000 Residents participation 335,000 Grant needed $ 2.405,000 Grant already secured 341.000 Grant requested $ 2.064.000 OCTOBER 2013 © CORDAID 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. FROM RELIEF TO DEVELOPMENT - FINANCIAL MODEL - PARTNERS - MAPS - ANNEXES 1.FROM RELIEF TO DEVELOPMENT 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. Informally settled hillside adjacent to Sainte Marie OCTOBER 2013 © CORDAID 3 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. 4 FROM RELIEF TO DEVELOPMENT - FINANCIAL MODEL - PARTNERS - MAPS - ANNEXES 2.WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME?

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.

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. a housing value chain phase one 4 - 6 months phase two construction, 12 months phase three off-take, up to 10 years roles and responsibilities The full Development Team will include distinct roles.

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 The school of Sainte Maire was rebuilt after it collapsed during the earthquake OCTOBER 2013 © CORDAID 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. FROM RELIEF TO DEVELOPMENT - FINANCIAL MODEL - PARTNERS - MAPS - ANNEXES 7 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. Cordaid’s urban planner and members of the Foyer Sainte Marie delimitate possible sites for redevelopment 8 FROM RELIEF TO DEVELOPMENT - FINANCIAL MODEL - PARTNERS - MAPS - ANNEXES 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. figure pre-development phase development phase offtake debt service by residents 1205 2740 grant to pay of part of the construction loan and reduce required permanent debt 753 permanent loan start use 418 construction loan grant to pay for 25% of construction costs 832 grant for management and technical assistance 703 grant for neighbourhood improvement 452 total construction costs start construction 335 total development costs now 7.

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.

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. www.saintemarie.foyer.fr CASEC TIJO The partners together on the site of the Sainte Marie school OCTOBER 2013 © CORDAID The CASEC (Conseil d’Administration de la Section Communale) is the smallest legal territorial unit administered by an elected board.

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.

Groupe d’épargne Avec le soutien de HaitiCo, “the Developpeur/moniteur”, les ménages du site formeront une coopérative d’épargne (la SavingsCo), ou chaque ménage accepte de contribuer mensuellement à hauteur d’un montant fixé, à compter de sa création jusqu’à son achèvement. Les dépôts (argent épargné) seront détenus par le dépositaire d’épargne, resteront la propriété de chaque ménage et seront utilisés pour réaliser des économies et des antécédents de crédit pour chaque ménage. Ils serviront aussi à fournir collectivement un coussin d’exploitation de premier niveau au prêt permanent pour les maisons individuelles. 8. Dépositaire d’épargne Toutes les épargnes seront détenues par une institution financière (bancaire ou non bancaire selon le cas) qui a des expériences de travail avec les pauvres informels à Port-au-Prince et qui a la confiance de la coopérative d'épargne et du promoteur. Cette institution conservera les épargnes au titre d'une convention de garde ou d’accord de séquestration. « dépôt conditionnel », conformément au plan de réaménagement. 9. Financement permanent À la phase d’achèvement et de prélèvement, le groupe d’épargne fera une demande du prêt permanent auprès d’un préteur (le” préteur permanent haïtien”) qui est soit (i) une institution financière formelle active en Haïti ou (ii) un consortium de préteurs et d’investisseurs de programmes connexes actifs et intéressés par le réaménagement en Haïti.

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.
