dc.description.abstractPakistan’s urban areas face a looming housing crisis: forty-seven percent of households live in over-crowded housing units in informal settlements (katchi abadis) with inadequate infrastructure and services. In response to the growing housing shortage, the Government of Pakistan launched the ambitious Naya Pakistan Housing Program (NPHP) in April 2019 with the objective of providing five million housing units across the country in five years, prioritizing those in lower income brackets for whom affordable housing is out of reach. To assist in targeting, and for monitoring the effectiveness of this policy and others, it is important to determine an objective criterion for housing affordability. This note proposes a modified Residual Expenditure Methodology (REM) approach, drawing on existing poverty measurement methodology, to measure housing poverty in urban Pakistan.en
