Description

Powerpoint presentation from the Global Shelter Cash and Markets CoP call on November 5 2025, focusing on Rental Assistance. 

  • Blumont shared evidence from Colombia showing rental support for migrant and internally displaced women improves housing stability, income, wellbeing, and self-reliance, with 92% maintaining adequate housing six months post-support.
  • IOM introduced its Rental Assistance Operational Guide, offering practical tools for programme design, implementation, monitoring, and exit strategies.
  • NRC presented their Good Rental Market Manual, promoting systemic, market-based approaches to make rental programming sustainable and scalable beyond short-term cash assistance.

The discussion highlighted rental assistance as a pathway to durable solutions, linking humanitarian response with development through integrated programming and market systems thinking.
