The annual requirement for new housing in Colombia is expected to reach 257,000 units by 1990, while upgrading is expected to involve 100,000 units per year. The types of housing currently available in the formal sector are not affordable by the poorest 40 percent of the population. Graduated payment systems have been effective for middle-income households, but alternative financing must be found for the lower-income population. In both urban and rural areas, efforts must be made to drastically reduce standards for housing construction and infrastructure in order to increase housing affordability. A stronger emphasis on upgrading, sites and services, and sanitary cores will improve affordability as well as provide an attractive alternative to illegal informal sector housing solutions. In addition, urgent attention must be given to dealing with the financial and institutional problems affecting the infrastructure sector in order to increase efficiency and decrease costs.
