Feasibility Study of low and middle income housing for rent in and around Nairobi, Kenya

Urbuntu是一家总部位于英国的公司，致力于投资和发展非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲的低收入社区，帮助他们茁壮成长。Urbuntu正在与3B Impact合作，3B Impact是一家总部位于英国的咨询公司，专门支持具有社会影响的创新商业机会。基于Urbuntu作为低成本住房国际组织顾问的丰富专业知识，以及3B Impact在将社会影响与商业机会结合起来方面的专业知识，我们的目标是通过商业投资开发改变发展中国家的低成本住房。2017年，肯尼亚政府将经济适用房作为其四大发展议程之一，尽管需求巨大，但私营部门尚未找到成功的商业案例，为中低收入家庭大规模提供经济适用房。正是在这种背景下，我们的工作已经确定有必要对内罗毕住宅租赁市场进行可行性研究，以便为发展正式的租赁市场建立一个明确的商业案例，为中低收入家庭提供负担得起的、安全的、位置适当的住房。
