Housing microfinance cater to the financing needs and affordability of the poor in a sustainable and non-subsidized approach. The practice
involves the application of microfinance principles and best practices to the provision of housing finance for home improvements, house
construction as well as house/ lot acquisition. It is seen as a powerful way to improve the living conditions of the enterprising poor and the low-
income households which will contribute to better health, increased productivity and improved quality of life.
This session will consist of presentations from Mr. Eduardo C. Jimenez, who was part of the Development of Poor Urban Communities Sector
Project (DPUCSP), which is an Asian Development Bank-assisted social housing and community development program jointly executed by the
Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) and the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP). The DPUCSP presented
the Housing Microfinance Product to the Bangko Sentral which was approved last 14 February 2008. There will also be a presentation by Mr.
Ignacito Alvizo of Enterprise Bank, one of the early adopters of the Housing Microfinance Product of the DPUCSP. The session will be rich with
both concepts as well as practical applications of the housing microfinance.
