The Lebanon Housing Dialogue was a full-day event held in partnership with Catholic Relief Services (CRS), and the Beirut Urban Lab (BUL), and was part of a series of national forums in Jordan and Egypt preceding the MENA Housing Forum organized by Habitat for Humanity International, from November 21-23rd, 2022 in Cairo, Egypt.
Within Lebanon’s deteriorating housing ecosystem, the forum intends to uncover questions about housing availability for the poor and vulnerable.
As such, the housing ecosystem refers to all the actors and institutions that are involved in providing housing for society, including improving the housing value chain.
It attracted a wide range of stakeholders, such as public and private sector actors, researchers, academics, funding agencies, urban planners, practitioners, activists, organizations, and local and international NGOs.
Among other topics, it explored creative and effective housing solutions to address precarities in dilapidated clusters and introduce practical short and medium turn within the existing institutional and regulatory framework in Lebanon.
