• AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS SHOULD
• Look to light industrialization in the
  production of building materials and in the
  construction process it-self
• Be rooted in the community, present innovative
  solutions to real problems and enable others to
  imitate it
• Build partnerships between the public and
  private sector
• Address lively-hood making it possible for
  those participating to earn a living.
