    (Addis Ababa University, 2007-08) Asnake, Abay; Mberengwa, Ignatious (PhD)
    Housing is the first and most safety need of human beings. It should be accessible to evety human being as a housing right, but not realized on the ground due to financial constraints, population pressure with the existing scarce resource, lack of comprehensive housing policy, scanty supply of housing with excessive demand, and inadequate and unaffordable supply.The AACG has been trying to mitigate the housing problem through housing development program by upgrading and redeveloping the City's slum areas, which was around 80 percent of the City habituated by more than 80 percent of the dwellers with low-income residents. To implement such type of program is challengeable with low capital and lack of comprehensive housing policy. Therefore, the housing development program has its own impacts on the affected groups.In this study, the researcher investigates the positive and negative impacts of the condomi-"ium housing development program on the affected groups who have been living in condominium houses by following Cernea's lRRM The result of the empirical analysis shows that, the housing development program had both positive and negative impacts on the respondent households.Even though the beneficiaries of the program were disrupted, suffered and unsatisfied by different situations andfacilities, the result oft-test shows that, they were satisfied with the condominium housing situation considering the previous ones. However, there is one thing, which is not answered in this study. That is, the sustainability of ownership status for the low-income residents. So in order to apply the program effectively, there is need to conduct further research on issues raised in this report such as the need for the participation of all stakeholders especially those directly related to the program from planning up to the evaluation stage. Government should also formulate appropriate and comprehensive housing policies which address the needs of the poor.
