Founded in 2005, the International Housing Coalition (IHC) aims to elevate housing and slum issues in global humanitarian and development agendas. With support from notable organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the National Association of Realtors, IHC focuses on education, advocacy, and information dissemination. As a membership organization with around 35 members, IHC has worked closely with groups like USAID in post-crisis areas, striving to bridge the gap between humanitarian efforts and development policies.
