In its new white paper, Lhoopa outlines practical blueprints for simplifying and scaling homeownership for more Filipinos
Metro Manila, Philippines, 9 October 2025 – Lhoopa, a Philippine-founded property technology company delivering affordable housing at scale, has released its first white paper, “From Backlog to Breakthrough: New Blueprints for Unlocking Housing Access”. The paper outlines data-backed insights and practical strategies to move the country’s housing agenda from chronic shortage to real solutions.
The study highlights that the national backlog has reached 8.25 million units, projected to triple by 2040 if left unaddressed. It argues that the problem is not only a lack of supply but a crisis of access, as most Filipinos remain excluded from financing and information systems that were designed for a different economic reality.
Lhoopa’s blueprint proposes three shifts: treating land as access infrastructure, empowering local frontliners with digital tools, and simplifying the homeownership journey through inclusive financing and information systems.
“These ideas align with ongoing government reforms and show how technology allows us to solve old problems differently,” said Marc-Olivier Caillot, Co-Founder and CEO of Lhoopa. “By combining adaptive policy, real-time data, mobile technology, and trusted local delivery networks, we can connect the right land, people, and financing faster and more transparently. The goal is not just to build more homes, but to build a system where homeownership becomes a realistic path for every working family.”
The white paper points to growing government momentum through programs like Expanded 4PH and the digitization of Pag-IBIG services, and calls for deeper coordination between the public and private sectors.
Lhoopa’s own technology ecosystem connects brokers, contractors, and developers nationwide, cutting project turnover time by half compared to industry standards.
Caillot added, “We have seen firsthand how data and technology can shorten the path to homeownership for families who were once excluded from the system. The challenge now is to make these gains work at scale. By bringing together public and private systems, we can transform the housing backlog into an opportunity for economic growth and social mobility.”
