Main Problem Addressed

While OFWs contribute significantly to the Philippine economy, many face challenges in securing stable and affordable housing upon their return. The national housing backlog of 6.5 million units exacerbates this issue. Traditional housing models often prove financially inaccessible, and past government initiatives have sometimes fallen short. 1-Home Housing Cooperative addresses this need by offering a tailored solution that primarily caters to the unique circumstances of OFWs.

Solution

Our Cooperative combines the strength of cooperative principles with sustainable and community-centric development as its focus. As an associational cooperative, we unite OFWs and their families based on shared needs and aspirations. Our model empowers members with ownership, democratic control, and access to benefits like tax exemptions and patronage refunds. By integrating income-generating opportunities like solar power and agriculture, we create self-sustaining communities that appreciate in value over time.
