In Iloilo City, Philippines, an Inclusive Housing Program Protects Vulnerable Communities from Flood Risks
Iloilo City, Philippines, implemented a Participatory Housing and Urban Development project to protect vulnerable urban poor communities from flood risks. Through a partnership between the local government and the Homeless People’s Federation of the Philippines Inc. (HPFPI), the city moved 1,250 households from flood-prone waterways to secure, within-city housing. The initiative replaced forced evictions with community-driven planning and innovative financing, including over 560 collective savings groups, and integrated urban poor representatives into city government boards for land use and disaster risk.
