The International Housing Coalition (IHC) sponsored or commissioned 11 housing resource papers for the World Urban Forum III (WUF III) which was held in Vancouver, Canada June 19-23, 2006.

The papers, which cover a wide range of housing issues, were widely distributed and provided background information, data and case studies for 12 interactive IHC-sponsored workshops (networking sessions). They discuss innovative approaches and best practices for expanding the supply of low income housing in countries around the world.
