The Good Rental Market Manual

Published 01. Jul 2025

NRC are excited to share a new tool to support the development of rental market programming in the Shelter and Settlements sector.

This manual aims to support Shelter & Settlement (S&S) teams, Heads of Programmes (HoPs) to move away from isolated ‘Cash for Rent’ projects, based on cash distributions, towards designing more sophisticated market interventions embedded in the existing systems of the geographic area of intervention. With this manual we aim to ensure S&S teams can develop rental programming which is more sustainable and works within existing systems, strengthening or adapting local markets and legislation to better serve displacement affected populations.

Note that some resources referenced are internal to NRC for the time being.
