KMRC is a big innovation, because it gives banks the resources to reach down-market sectors that banks have had no interest in reaching in the past. For the Kenyan housing sector, that is really pushing the envelope,” said Caroline Cerruti, senior financial specialist at the World Bank. KMRC is carving out an affordable mortgage market in Kenya almost from scratch, while stimulating competition between lenders to reach underserved sectors and adding a new dimension to Kenya’s own capital markets, she explained. Now, more than ever, targeted interventions through government policy and philanthropic investment are needed to provide safe and affordable accommodation for women. The Leather Archives and Museum, founded in 1991, [35] has an exhibit called A Room of Her Own, about which curator Alex Warner has written, "As I began work for the first exhibit installation of the Women’s Leather History Project, I was excited that we were both literally and figuratively making room for Leatherwomen’s history in the LA&M. It was out of this line of thinking that "A Room of Her Own" emerged, building on Virginia Woolf's 1929 feminist text that argues for women's need for space to think and create". [36] Mortgage refinancing companies like KMRC can also be effective in providing credit at times of economic downturns, playing a stabilizing, counter-cyclical role in markets as they did in a few countries in Europe and Asia during the 2008-09 financial crisis, said Hassler. KMRC’s sustaining source of cash, however, will come from the sale of bonds on local capital markets. Acting as a mortgage refinancer, KMRC will then lend the proceeds of the bond to primary mortgage lenders in the form of long-term loans secured against mortgages. The first bonds are due to be issued before the end of 2021.

Most importantly, KMRC’s retail mortgage partners offer terms that the Kenyan mortgage market has almost never seen before: fixed-rate mortgages with long-term maturities for people with modest incomes.

This is NOT a book for number-crunching nerds. Many of the answers are guessable by the intelligent reader. It is a quiz, yes, but also a cavalcade of historical incident and colour relating to a system that was the making of modern Britain. Private developers have always chased certain ends of the market, and that is why we’ve seen the Nairobi skyline shift in a big way, into higher-end residential projects. Those are looking good,” said Mugeni. “But the inner city of Nairobi is soon going to get 10,000 new affordable housing units. That is going to have an impact.”

This book is at its best when talking about what the housing crisis really means - it’s real world impact on people and families.

Beautifully written ... having a home is a central aspect of people's lives and a cornerstone of trust in society and its institutions -- Anne Minton * FT * Too often, the house market feels like some giant Ponzi scheme in which we are all being forced to take part, and if we are not part of it, we face the consequences of a world of insecure lets and being at the mercy of unscrupulous landlords or languishing on decades-long council waiting lists".
