Understanding the Global Housing Crisis

The global housing crisis affects approximately 1.8 billion people who live in inadequate housing conditions. This situation often manifests not only as homelessness but also as families living in overcrowded or poorly maintained shelters, such as those in Mexico and Ecuador. Such living conditions may include issues like leaky roofs and lack of basic necessities, which highlight the dire need for solutions that address both the physical and emotional impacts of inadequate housing. To combat this crisis effectively, market-based solutions are essential, as charity and government efforts alone are insufficient to tackle the scale of this problem.
