She still believes she is a mouse and not a lion HMF still not secure in its developmental role All the rats are roaring so why should the mouse? Microfinance is working. Burgeoning household credit sector Increasing microfinance finding its way into housing by default, not design She is caught in a mousetrap Structural constraints limiting HMF to specific market sub-segments, and precluding HMF from playing a major role in primary housing production processes Squeeak! She doesn t get enough cheese and probably needs steroids Actively and passively maligned HMF sector requires a voice, a presence, and proactive lobbying 4 2

Status Quo & Lessons Learned Current HMF Realities HMF is different from MF Solid financial sector in SA: microfinance still shape-shifting Level playing fields for MFIs: standard operating conditions, barriers to entry, pressure to grow, consolidation of players NCA: Sector stability via blanket regulation of MF providers & protection of consumers Concerns: household indebtedness, macroeconomic changes, default Emerging literature & local body of evidence of what works and what does not: wholesale & retail Much larger than RHLF and NHFC-supported HMFIs: works across the board Organic flow of conventional microfinance into housing good, but not enough Emerging sense of differences: points of contact, parameters for successful lending, alternative methodologies & products, origination, management, risk identification & mitigation, default management Need to continue to facilitate growth of sector and help turn money into houses HMF works but is a prejudiced sector Differentiate organisational commercial failure from methodological failure Benefits to lenders and borrowers of all sizes: voluntary, profitable, growing business area HMF not only the ambit of NGOs and small HMFIs: interest from banks, non-bank lenders, community groups & alliances, even developers 14 7
8 6. Status Quo & Lessons Learned Current Housing Realities Implications of SA Housing Paradigm BNG does not alter development paradigm sufficiently for future success Housing programme out of touch with South Africa s state of development, real housing needs and appropriate strategic responses. Housing policy actively antagonistic to role of HMF and potential of incrementalism Need to fundamentally shift human settlement development processes & current housing subsidy programmes First and Second Pillars of housing policy developed from middle up Mismatch between housing demand and supply: quantum and nature of housing products imum standards and subsidy system create artificial divide between formal and informal housing conditions and sterilise the latter Large and growing demand and discontent about housing conditions down-market low-income housing strategy viewed from minimum standards upwards low income people relegated to sub-optimal, maligned housing situations Need to couple only viable low-income housing strategy with only viable low-income financing Mechanism fundamental political, strategy and policy change needed this is more a housing problem than a finance problem Way Forward Turning Microfinance into houses: Institutional Infrastructure: Mainstreaming HMF in affordable housing delivery: Unblock HMF path to primary urban shelter production Lobbying for new housing paradigm including incrementalism Tackle problems inherent in current housing approach: rigid minimum standards, fully-subsidised one-step accommodation programmes Key is new methodology combining individual, state (subsidy) and private sector (microfinance) Reformulate facilitative roles of DFIs to offer institutional support to HMFIs, government, developers Organisational Infrastructure: Competition & Co-operation: Collaborative partnerships between mainstream and niche players to seek new housing development methodologies & microfinance models New HMF approaches and products need to be tested: Longer-term housing microloans Assessment of risk and interest rate Sources of fixed, movable and social collateral Formal rollover microloan products Technical Assistance options Savings-based, housing-linked, product-driven, TA-linked Support to nascent HMF / incremental housing programmes Support Infrastructure: Understand successful housing strategies that engage with HMF internationally Research true depth and breadth of HMF in South Africa Grow confidence in HMF amongst housing and finance decision-makers. Technical Assistance: Turning HMF into houses: plans, approvals, supports, technologies 16 8
