The Mandate

Four pillars.
One mandate.

CHIS '27 is the Caribbean's first executive-level convening across the full built-environment value chain — from housing policy and development finance to construction delivery, real estate marketing, PropTech, and workforce development.

Pillar I

Policy

Housing finance reform, land banking, title modernization, and the subsidy architecture that closes the deficit — not just declares it.

Pillar II

Capital

Mortgages, blended finance, CBI development capital, and the diaspora vehicles that can move $10B+ in remittances into productive housing.

Pillar III

Resilience

Post-Beryl building codes, retrofit programs, climate-resilient design, and parametric insurance integrated with construction standards.

Pillar IV

Community

Workforce, urban planning, informal settlement upgrading, and the community land trusts that make delivery durable.
