Decision Makers' Brief: Housing, Land and Property Solutions for Internal Displacement

This decision makers’ brief summarizes the key housing, land and property (HLP) solutions for internal displacement. It distils analysis from 24 case studies across displacement-affected contexts globally, offering practical guidance for practitioners and policymakers in humanitarian, development, peace and government sectors working to establish durable HLP solutions for internally displaced persons, host communities and other vulnerable groups. The brief is organized across three categories of intervention: humanitarian protection, recovery and development and resilience. It draws from the report “Policy Directions: Housing, Land and Property Solutions to Resolve and Prevent Displacement”, published by UN-Habitat and the Global Land Tool Network in 2024, where more in-depth analysis of trends, causes and solutions can be found, along with definitions, case studies and bibliographic references.
