Build Change

Build Change is the global leader for systems change in resilient housing. We work with homeowners, governments, and finance institutions to prevent housing loss caused by disasters, and to transform the systems for regulating, financing, building and improving houses around the world.

Build Change’s engineers, builders, coders, policy advocates, and lending partners are providing urgently needed housing solutions in the world’s most disaster-prone countries. Since 2004, Build Change has safeguarded more than $1.8 billion in housing infrastructure assets across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia Pacific, improving the lives of over 600,000 people and building new or retrofitting more than 100,000 buildings.

Over the next decade, more than 96,000 new affordable and accessible homes will need to be built every day worldwide to meet the demand for housing. Our goal is that governments, the private sector, and nonprofits unite to make sure all of this housing is safe, disaster-resilient, and climate-smart.
