Abstract
The author first defines basic housing needs and target groups; explains investment categories, data sources, and the methodologies used; and presents resulting investment projections by activity and time period. The projections are then analyzed by project components and locations, and statistics are provided relating investment requirements to individual countries" gross national products. Since only 30% of current housing efforts in Central America affects groups whose basic housing needs have not yet been satisfied, the author recommends doubling this percentage and points out that 90% of the increase in funding could be financed with recoverable assets. Appendices include a more detailed presentation of the data collection and computer analysis methodologies used, data by individual country on current and projected housing investment conditions and needs, and a 118-item bibliography (1968-80).
