UN-HABITAT undertook a study to evaluate the Housing Finance Mechanisms in Thailand. It looks at Thailand’s experience in the low-income housing finance system. The study is an attempt to help people find and maintain their own homes, which in turn enables people to house themselves. Thailand’s experience will be beneficial to other developing countries.

This study is one of several comprehensive initiatives to evaluate housing strategies and mechanisms. The study attempts to understand the evolution, nature, and scope of the housing problem in Thailand, as well as the conditions, structures, patterns, trends, characteristics, and inducements for housing finance in Thailand. The report reveals the main players in Thailand’s housing finance system and assesses the country’s low-income housing programs and initiatives.
