Building a Future Where Every Filipino Can Own a Home Starts with Working Together

Lhoopa Releases White Paper Urging Cross-Sector Action for Inclusive, Tech-Driven Housing Solutions

Proptech pioneer Lhoopa is calling on both public and private sectors to come together in tackling one of the country’s most pressing issues: the housing crisis. In its newly released white paper, “From Backlog to Breakthrough: New Blueprints for Unlocking Housing Access”, the company lays out actionable, tech-enabled strategies to make homeownership more accessible to millions of Filipinos.

A Housing Crisis Rooted in More Than Just Supply

The paper reveals an alarming projection: the housing backlog in the Philippines has already reached 8.25 million units and could triple by 2040 if bold, coordinated action isn’t taken. But Lhoopa emphasizes that this isn’t just a supply problem, it’s an accessibility crisis, driven by outdated financing systems and a lack of real-time, inclusive data tools.

“Most housing solutions were built for an economy that no longer exists,” said Marc-Olivier Caillot, Co-Founder and CEO of Lhoopa. “Today, we need systems that match the realities of working Filipino families: fast, transparent, and inclusive.”

Three Key Shifts to Rethink the Path to Homeownership

Lhoopa’s white paper outlines a new framework to help close the housing gap, one that blends policy, technology, and grassroots implementation:

Treat Land as Infrastructure: Recognize land not just as a commodity, but as a foundational asset for inclusive growth.
Digitize Local Frontlines: Equip local brokers, contractors, and developers with mobile tech and real-time data to speed up housing delivery.
Streamline Financing and Information Access: Create a simpler, more inclusive system for families navigating the homeownership journey.

Real Results Through Tech and Collaboration

Lhoopa’s own tech ecosystem is already proving this model works: connecting brokers, contractors, and developers nationwide while cutting project turnover time in half. The firm is also aligning its efforts with ongoing government reforms such as the Expanded 4PH program and Pag-IBIG’s digitization efforts, reinforcing its belief that collaboration is the key to scaling success.

“We’ve seen what’s possible when tech meets local know-how,” Caillot added. “Now is the time to scale these wins by aligning policy, platforms, and people. When we do that, we’re not just solving the housing backlog—we’re building real pathways to economic mobility.”
