The global housing crisis affects more than 1.8 billion people, according to the United Nations (UN). More than one billion of them live in informal settlements or slums. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the situation is especially critical. According to the UN, this figure exceeds 95 million, while the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF) reports more than 120 million people.
