Abstract
HG funds will be used to provide 800 low-income families with shelter, as well as access to water, waste disposal, long-term housing finance, and secure tenure. TA will be provided under project 6620005 to facilitate increased rationalization of shelter policy, particularly housing finance policy, concentrating on issues such as housing subsidies, cost-recovery practices, mobilization of local capital, and clearer delineation of the roles of the public and private sectors in shelter provision. The project is expected to generate some 1,675 person-months of skilled and 3,560 person-months of unskilled employment, not including beneficiary self-help labor.
