Investments in Mortgage Refinance Companies

Large Scale housing projects are at the very centre of our new strategy, it is our anchor product. This decision was arrived after careful consideration of the affordable housing landscape. We believe large-scale housing development are a positive and mass impact making avenue and we are committed to promoting them and achieving them through Private-Public-Partnerships (PPPs).

Given our experience, we are aware of challenges at the Pre-development stage and the execution stage which is why we established a dedicated Project Implementation Team. This product seeks to address, in a more deliberate and strategic manner, the affordable housing supply constraint evident across the markets that SHELTER-AFRIQUE operates. The magnitude of the housing deficit across the continent may not be closed using small ticket projects. Delivering at large scale brings forth economies of scale that eventually translate to affordability.

Alternative Building Technologies

Lines of Credit to Financial Institutions Demand for housing remains highest for individuals living at the bottom of the pyramid (BoP) across Shelter Afrique member countries. However, these individuals are always exclude from home ownership particularly through the formal mortgage market due to the associated perceived credit risks.

Financing options for this income group remains scarce and largely informal. In the absence of accessible financing options, most lower income families end up building incrementally based on their needs and available resources.

This progressive building process may be carried out over several years and may entail acquiring land, building an initial structure and following with a series of expansions and improvements. We intend to make this more feasible through our Housing Micro-Finance Product.

The product is designed for beneficiaries who want to use the funds accessed for housing provision. The housing microfinance loans represent relatively small sums, borrowed for a much shorter term than a mortgage to match both the income streams of low-income clients and the construction costs of their incremental building steps.
