Driving initiatives in steering affordable housing conundrum

“More than 80 per cent of Singaporeans live in Housing Development Board flats, mostly
owner-occupied. Through this public housing scheme, Singapore has achieved the highest home
ownership rate in Asia - at 90 per cent.”

THIS UNIQUE CONFERENCE WILL BRING DELEGATES THE BENEFITS
OF:
• Reviewing planning mechanisms in building and delivering more
affordable homes
• Determining effective urban planning and building approvals systems
• Encouraging an efficient supply of land and housing types that meet the
diverse housing needs
• Building affordable homes through effective construction cost, quality
and time-sensitive delivery management
• Reducing barriers to affordable housing investment
• Recognising planning mechanisms in speeding up planning approval for
social and affordable housing
• Acquiring the knowledge to introduce and deploy cutting-edge
construction methods and material technology
• Reviewing best practices in affordable housing and township
development that meet your various project requirements
• Assessing viability assessment in ensuring transparency and parameters
for building costs and land values
WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT
Planning and constructing decent housing for citizens is a perennial
challenge for nations around the world. Improvement of people’s housing
affordability requires clear aspirations by policy makers and the use of four
levers which is to unlock land in appropriate locations, reduce construction
and operations costs, and improve access to low-cost financing. Coupled
with an integrated and city-specific delivery approach, these measures can
put housing within reach of households making 50 to 80 percent of city’s
median income. Deteriorating housing affordability will drive 2016 housing
trends and the affordable housing push will ignite growth in the economy.
Today’s urban population stands at 3.5 billion people and is soon projected
to reach 5 billion by 2030. City leaders and government must take a fast
decision in planning for growth and provide basic services such as
infrastructure and affordable housing.
With far more attractive and informative case studies, join our 2nd Annual
Affordable Housing conference, a platform showcasing top notch
keynote presentations. Identify potentially appropriate models for
government and industry-led capacity-building strategies and initiatives the
growth of affordable housing.

Session One
Rezoning in the age of hyper-gentrification- Mandatory
Inclusionary Housing and Zoning for Quality and affordability
affordable housing means housing for very low income households,
low income households or moderate income households (being
such households as are prescribed by the regulations or as are
provided for in an environmental planning instrument). This is
useful in that it is tenure‐neutral. But the preposition ‘for’ is an
indicator of eligibility or target customer: it is no guarantee of
affordability. Some 70% of private landlords providing rental
housing for low‐income households do not do so on an affordable
basis
• Proposed development in creating the need for affordable
housing in an area
• The proposed development of the initial zoning of the site, or the
rezoning of a site
John Nicolades Chief Executive Officer
Bridge Housing Limited, Australia
Session Two
Creating an effective public policy for affordable housing –
Making housing affordable with Pr1ma Corporation Malaysia
The provision of adequate housing is critical for the growth and
well-being of society. The issue of housing is a multifaceted one, for
it encompasses not only shelter, but also security, privacy,
investment, and personal identity.PR1MA stands for Projek Peruma-
han Rakyat 1 Malaysia. This initiative was established under the
PR1MA Act 2012, "to plan, develop, construct and maintain
high-quality housing with lifestyle concepts for middle-income
households in key urban centres."

Session Three – Case Study
Delivering affordable housing in key cities: Moving away
from the rectitude misinterpretation of modular for low cost
projects
Affordable housing considerations have been an essential perspec-
tive for city organisers for as far back as quite a while. New era of
prefab homes and modular has an energising mix of profoundly
measured techniques and convincing configuration. Learn the nitty
gritty of modular concept affordable homes in cities.
Mariano D. Martinez President and CEO
8990 Holdings, Philippines
Session Four
Formulating win-win strategies for both the land owner and
the developer in developing affordable housing
Due to high property prices relative to local incomes some area has
severe shortage of affordable housing. Many households are
unable to purchase or rent their own home on the open market.
Local governments can facilitate the development of affordable
housing by making public land available for eligible projects.
Alternately, for publicly owned land in neighbourhoods with
increasing market demand or recent public investment, jurisdictions
can sell land at market price to affordable housing developers
before increases in value are realised in the price of the land.

Session Five: Panel Discussion
Making affordable homes attractive: Integrating affordable
housing into commercial schemes
Affordable housing is an initiative that gained popularity over the
years. Since then, even when property prices have increased
dramatically, the need for a range of affordable and intermediate
tenure solutions has grown. Now, as house prices stabilise in some
markets, the development costs of social housing, which continue
to increase in line with tender price inflation, could become a
significant brake on a scheme's viability. The provision of affordable
housing has become a key element of residential development,
requiring considerable skills in land buying, stakeholder manage-
ment and design to deliver high quality schemes.

Partnerships and Collaborations- Mobilising funds for financ-
ing affordable housing initiatives through Public Private
Partnerships (PPPs)
Government will continue to play a strategic role in promoting
private sector participation in the development of affordable
homes. In line with inclusive development government will focus on
increasing affordability and accessibility of low- and middle-income
households, strengthening the management and delivery of public
housing programmes; as well as promoting efficient and sustain-
able housing industry.

Session Eight
Balancing supply and demand: Meeting the changing needs
of the market - National Housing Authority (NHA) Thailand
The supply of housing consists of the total stock of housing in all its
forms. It is more important to distinguish the level of different sorts
of housing stock according to dwelling type, tenure and price. The
demand for housing in a local market is influenced by demographic
factors, especially the rate at which new households are formed,
prices in the local housing market and other housing markets, the
economic circumstances of the households and of the local housing
market, the perceived advantages of the local area in terms of its
access to a range of goods and services, and the particular tastes or
preferences of the consumers. Learn the approach taken by Nation-
al Housing Authority Thailand in meeting the changing needs in the
market.

Welcome address by Chairperson
Session One
Cultivating Diverse, Liveable Neighbourhoods- Seeking
Affordable Housing and Community Expansion Opportuni-
ties in All Five Boroughs-NYC case study
NYC will establish a new mandatory Inclusionary Housing Program
to ensure that the housing marketplace serves New Yorkers at a
broader range of income levels. The program will be applicable in all
medium and high density districts where rezonings provide an
opportunity for significantly more housing. The City will require a
portion of the housing developed to be affordable. Developers have
identified challenges they face in using the current Inclusionary
Housing Program, including inconsistencies between the require-
ments of the Inclusionary Housing Program and tax incentives.
Session Two
Transforming affordable housing initiative with government
driven incentives, grants and financing schemes
The growing need for additional affordable housing and the
involvement of government sector will help bridge the lack of
affordable this gap is well evidenced. The Australian Government
has recently made a significant investment in affordable housing
through the Nation Building Economic Stimulus Plan, the National
Affordable Housing Agreement (NAHA) and the National Rental
Affordability Scheme (NRAS). Over the next four years these three
measures alone will support the building of more than 80,000
affordable rental homes.

Session Three
‘Rent-to-Own’ – A Viable Option for Affordable Housing
(Housing and Urban Development Corporation Limited )
HUDCO
A ‘rental-cum-ownership housing’ scheme which offers the low-in-
come potential home buyers an opportunity to own a house when
they are ready to deposit a certain percentage of the house price as
initial down payment, while occupying the house on rent which is
less than the market rent.
Session Four
Venturing into cost effective ways in building low cost
houses – A modular story
The soaring costs of construction are pushing property developers
towards prefabricated building technology in an effort to address
housing shortage in a cost-effective mode. According to property
analysts, prefabricated housing could potentially be adopted on a
large scale in the counties, particularly once home owners are
certain that prefabs are impressive and more affordable alternative
to conventional brick and mortal. Take a step closer to a whole new
technology in modular homes.

Refining your existing construction methods for reduced cost
and time
Cost and time is the mantra for developers when there are building
low cost housing. This session will be addressing latest innovation in
building material technologies and housing construction products.
This session will focus on waste based material & technology
evaluation and standardisation for new construction materials.
Efficient, sustainable and low-cost materials are necessary for
developers and this session will be able to give you a clearer picture
in regards to that.
James Lim Director
Superspan, Malaysia
Session Six
The 50/50 affordable housing model: Real affordability for
low- and moderate-income households –New York City
50/50 model encourages the city to use every available policy tool
to incentivise developers to increase land values across the city, and
in exchange for this increased value to reap substantial affordable
housing unit development and to ensure that 50/50 housing
developments become the new standard for real affordability.
Afternoon refreshments
Session Seven
Generating more projects: Recreating urban areas into
affordable housing projects
The affordable housing gap now stands at $650 billion a year and
that the problem will only grow as urban populations expand:
current trends suggest that there could be 106 million more low-in-
come urban households by 2025, for example. To replace today’s
inadequate housing and build the additional units needed by 2025
would require $9 trillion to $11 trillion in construction spending
alone. With land, the total cost could be $16 trillion. Of this, we
estimate that $1 trillion to $3 trillion may have to come from public
funding.
Isabella Slattery Director
Head of Affordable Housing
CBRE UK
Session Eight
Looking at future growth - How affordable housing projects
now can become a prime location later
Developers building affordable housing should look at the future. It
may be a n affordable project now, but in another 20 to 25 years
the location will be a prime location with effective infrastructure
services. The property sector is heading to an extent that there is
not much upside for big players anymore. Supply was overtaking
demand. Today while building luxury properties, developers are
supposed to comply with low-cost housing requirements too.
