Abstract :
COVID-19 has had an immediate and severe
impact on low-income residents and mission-driven
organizations that develop and operate housing for this
population, especially affordable housing at worst.
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the
impact of Covid 19 on affordable housing in Nigeria and
the most affected housing categories. This study examines
existing research on the current and potential impacts of
the COVID-19 pandemic on affordable housing and the
most affected housing categories, to identify cracks or
gaps, fill identified gaps, and contribute to knowledge and
Academics to provide additional research and
contributed research. Survey results show that the
construction industry and lender/investor/funder
inspectors are unable to travel to construction sites to
inspect projects and approve applications, as well as
maintain safe spaces and distance. Some of the
consequences of Covid 19 for affordable housing include
slowing rental activity and traffic. While one- and twobedroom apartments are the most prevalent housing
types affected by Covid-19, it is therefore recommended
that the Federal Government and stakeholders work
together to ensure the establishment of this fund as an
intervention to support the impact of Covid-19 on the
Nigerian housing sector being affected by Used wisely and
effectively to mitigate or eliminate the impact of Covid-19
on the housing sector. To this end, the government should
implement a new model to help developers provide
affordable housing to people of all income levels in
Nigeria.
