What would be the return on such investment?

Are you thinking of a Charity Project?

or a government relocation project?

Then there would be no need for government loan guarantees.

An investor would not get much in return for his investment by building housing for the poor who are mostly out of work in Haiti, unless the government plan on launching a welfare system for mothers with children under 18years of age. Most of the people who are living at the Bidonvilles migrated from the provinces to look for work that do not exist in the capital.

They still have family members living where they originated from. They are not working, and those who are self employed are barely making it. If the government offer them a piece of land they will be willing to relocate away from the capital.

Land redistribution or requisition would be a first step to solve the overpopulation of the Capital thus diminishing the crime rate as well. A lot of ex-goverment criminals who had to go into exile have some stolen land in Haiti with nothing growing on it. The government can start from there.

Any land that its owner have not paid taxes on or grown anything or do not have anykind of housing on it should reverse back to the state.

A small country like Haiti need to reverse back to 3 States.

Cap-Haitien, Port-au-Prince and Gonaives.

Period.
