Abstract

The Home Development Fund provides housing finance to low-income groups in the Philippines. Since its foundation in 1981 the Fund has developed from simply providing finance for end users to pursuing a more socially active role. The article describes the history of the fund and several recent initiatives, including community mortgages.
