This situation is replicated in almost all informal settlements within the city of Nairobi. Developing affordable shelter for the urban poor, and thereby realizing the Constitutional right to housing, will require new forms of pro-poor shelter finance and supportive policies at the urban level. But most of Nairobi’s residential construction has targeted wealthy households, leaving insufficient supply of low-income housing where the needs are most urgent. This paper argues for a County-level affordable housing fund.Text1 digital file (68 p. : ill.)application/pdfenLOCAL LEVELRIGHT TO HOUSINGHOUSING SUPPLYLAND TENUREVULNERABLE GROUPSINFORMAL SETTLEMENTSURBAN PLANNINGPUBLIC SERVICESGOVERNANCEPROGRAMME PLANNINGPRIMARY DOCUMENTSIdentifying opportunities, unlocking informality and leveraging assets to create sustainable housing for Nairobi's majority populationNairobi Special Housing FundSynthesis Report
