| dc.description.abstract | The government of Ethiopia is implementing various strategies to combat challenges of rapid population growth and fast urbanization which include Integrated Housing Development Project. Condominium housing, as one of the innovation under the project, has tremendous role in minimizing housing problem hence considered as an opportunity for the youth to either own or rent full-fledged houses and form families. As a result, this study has been designed to assess the effects of the innovation through cross-sectional method since its effects are rarely studied. The characteristics of the residents analyzed included housing, demographic and socioeconomic. Household questionnaire was applied to gather data from 500 randomly drawn households residing in three purposely selected sites. Focus Group Discussions and Key Informant Interviews were also conducted to collect relevant information. Statistical test of association at p value less than 0.05 significance level was used followed by hierarchical logistic regression analysis. Main findings of the study are primarily, density per room, prior residence and years of stay in condominium; secondarily, the socio-demographic dynamics such as age, marital status and income satisfaction were found to be significant factors in determining fertility intention of the residents. Moreover, majority of the residents were categorized under younger cohorts who seek for houses to start family and have children. Generally, resident's intention is highly influenced by perceived availability of resources to have children. Thus, it is recommended that intervention is needed to create livable environment both for children and adults in addition to availing family planning education and services.
