Literature review on the Use of Cash in Shelter

The Global Shelter Cluster (GSC) with support from UNHCR conducted this literature review of the use of cash in shelter programming to help assess how much documented evidence was currently available from within the sector.

The objective of this study is to help better prepare the GSC and its members to respond to the needs of the field, providing expertise and technical support remotely and on mission. This literature review has taken stock of what has been done so far on cash for shelter, housing finance, and also looked into existing market assessment tools
