Young individuals have a unique opportunity to drive meaningful change within their communities. With this in mind, the Habitat Youth Solutions grant aims to empower youth to initiate, expand, or replicate innovative solutions to housing and urban challenges across the Asia-Pacific region.

If you're between 18 and 30 years old and from one of the following countries—Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Fiji, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, or Vietnam—and have a solution to housing issues, we invite you to submit your project idea!

The Habitat Youth Solutions grant will:
A) Offer seed funding of US$4,000 to up to 10 youth-led projects that contribute to a more innovative, inclusive, and collaborative housing ecosystem for sustainable and resilient communities.
B) Select up to 40 youth-led projects to join the Habitat Youth Assembly in the Philippines from June 24-26, 2025, where participants will:

• Learn from experts about topics such as housing, climate change, and inclusion
• Network with past winners of the Habitat Youth Solutions grant
• Collaborate with peers across the region and explore fundraising opportunities

This grant is exclusively for solutions that are developed and managed by youth for the benefit of their local communities. The projects must be scalable and/or replicable in Habitat-supported communities.

The application deadline is April 13, 2025, at 11:59 pm (GMT+8).
