Core Housing

Abrams stated that core housing:

• should be of a size to accommodate the typical family from the outset,

• should be designed to be extended by the household (with training available if requested) or more likely by locally settled small contractors,

• should be owned by the resident household with loans being made available in installments to finance both the original core and the extensions,

• should be on a plot of sufficient size to accommodate expansion according to several alternative plans, show houses being built to demonstrate the alternatives,

• should be constructed from materials that allow expansion and which could be supplied through local material suppliers and producers who should also be assisted to develop in the area,

• should be designed to be comfortable given local climatic conditions, and

• must have access to water and sanitation from the time of occupation
