Aim
1.   Review and assess efforts to provide sustainable shelter to meet the
     increased demand in urban slums in Metros

2.   Review public housing provision for disadvantaged and vulnerable
     communities

3.   Review the provision of sustainable housing in South Africa for those
     caught between inaccessibility to mortgages because they don't earn
     enough, and inaccessibility to subsidized housing because they earn too
     much.

4.   Discuss the housing challenges in BRICS

5.   Provide modeling options identifying the opportunities to invest in
     Affordable Housing initiatives.

Brazil’s Housing Shortage
Housing Characteristics
• 74% of Brazil’s households are Owner Occupied, 17% Renter
  Occupied, 7% Occupied Rent Free
Backlog
• Varied estimates of Brazil’s Housing Shortage, due to inconsistencies in
  Favela data collection
     •   In 2009 - Joao Pinheiro Foundation
          •   estimated a deficit of 7.2million units if the favela’s are excluded.
          •   Estimated a deficit of 30 million units if favela’s are included
     •   In 2009 – Caixa Econonimca Federal Study
          •   Estimated a deficit of 9 million units
     •   In 2011, Sao Paulo State Construction Industry Union using IGBE data
          •   Estimated a deficit of 5.46million units

•   It is estimated 90% of the Housing Deficit (Excluding Favelas) lie in the
    low income space
•   IGBE Study indicates that 50% of Households in Favela’s lie in Middle
    Class, 4.5% live in Upper Class
•   85% of the Deficit are in Urban Areas
•   42% of the Deficit live in congested households, 35% experience
    excessive expenditure + rent, 18% live in precarious housing
Brazil’s Housing Policy
• 2009 -Minha Casa, Minha Vida 2009 (My Home, My Life)
     • Stimulate Production and acquisition of new housing units for low
       income population
     • Mobilizes the private sector to contribute
     • Allocates subsidy finance
     • Guided by data on the housing deficit when building new housing units
     • Aims to promote economic growth in low-income households – creating
       jobs in the construction sector
     • Supports wide range of incomes
           • Prioritises low income households – receive a substantial increase in the subsidy
             amount
           • Also offers housing alternatives to Middle Income Households
     • Program includes Social Oriented Housing options
           • Offers a special credit line for organisations involved in social housing (i.e. Housing

Minha Casa, Minha Vida – The Vision
Russian Housing Shortage
• From 2000 – 2012
   • Private ownership increased from 65% to 87% of all dwellings
• Housing provision and backlog is measured in square
  meterage per person
   • In 2006
       • 93 million square meters (3% of total housing) were in dilapidated houses
       • 11.2million sq m below safety standards
       • Challenge of maintenance

• Residential Mortgage market now worth USD1.8 billion+
  (1% of GDP)
Russian Housing Policy
•   Soviet Era
     •   The State owned up to 90% of the Housing Stock in Urban Areas
     •   Rent and housing costs were nominal and heavily subsidised
     •   Housing was allocated according to “sanitary norms” that regulated the living space per
         person
     •   No concept of mortgages
•   Post Soviet Era
     •   State owned properties were transferred to the residents of the property
     •   Privatisation lead to development of large condominiums
           • Introduced mortgage financing, mortgage agencies, securitisation
     •   Launched the ‘Affordable Housing’ Project devolved to the municipalities
     •   2006 Housing Code - Government no longer managed maintenance and repairs of Social
         Housing Projects
           • Faced with burden of 40-50 years worth of repairs
           • Question of who is responsible for maintenance
     •   Side Effects
           • 50% of homes require maintenance – population living in aging homes
           • Only 10 – 15 % of Russians can afford the mortgages
           • Experiencing low level of debt securitisation
           • New households are struggling to find accommodation

MODELLING
Cost Benefit Analysis(CBA) methodology
 This research employs a CBA called Internal Rate of Return (IRR) model which provides an
  economic decision making tool to assess whether affordable rental housing contribute to the
  increased and improved return on investments or not

 Adopted from the Australian Housing and Urban research model

 Three big cities of South Africa such as Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban are used as
  focus cases of cost benefit analysis of the research

 Internal Rate of Return:

Conclusions and future assessments
 The Gap Market is wholly underserved in South Africa
 Provision of Housing and access to services is too slow
   o Backlog remains consistent
   o Need alternate means of Housing Provision (with Private Sector)
 The profitability of an investment in affordable rental housing can be
  calculated with the use of Cost benefit analysis techniques such as IRR

 we believe it is possible for the private investors to join and provide
  indication of different ways in which additional resources that can be levered
  into affordable rental housing to work with the private sector subsidies for
  affordable housing
 Various revisions to Rates of Returns possible with greater data
From backyard Private rental to Subsidized
                    Rental
