Resilient Housing Program
Strong Homes, Stronger Communities
Help communities in the Philippines become more resilient to disasters
A housing initiative created to empower communities in need
Preparing for a disaster rather than responding after it hits, makes our communities stronger.
The Resilient Housing Program is led by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and partners with Filipino communities and microfinance institutions to keep families safe from disasters.
The program aims to increase access to safe shelter for vulnerable families by enabling them to access loans for rebuilding and strengthening their homes. It further equips loan recipients with Build Back Safer (BBS) knowledge through training and rebuilding evaluations by engineers and IOM shelter experts.
Your donation helps make shelter loans more accessible for families who need them most.

“I told my children, even if I die, I have built you a house where you will be safe, so that even when storms come, you will feel safe and secure.”
