Introduction Introduction General information about the Governorate: Al Hudaydah Governorate covers an area of 17,509 km2 (6,760 sq. mi). Its population, according to the 2004 Yemeni census, is “2,157,552”. The number of IDPs in the Governorate has reached (133,830) according to TEPM (Task Force on Population Movement Yemen)| 17th Report - August 2018. What is the Objective of this Assessment?
The Preparedness Assessment is guided by a number of objectives. The main objective is to support Clusters’ priority preparedness activities through providing an independent preparedness assessment about “Housing Rental Market Assessment and Host Community Capacity Assessment”. What is the Source of the Data?
The assessment uses primary data which is collected through qualitative and quantitative research methods. The qualitative methods are key informant interviews (KII) and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). For the quantitative data collection, a set of tools have been developed, specifically the landlords’ questionnaire, the tenants’ questionnaire, the exchange and remittance agents’ questionnaire, CBOs questionnaire, NFI/Shelter suppliers’ questionnaire, and the local authority questionnaire. The Geographical Coverage in Al Hudaydah Governorate
The districts distributed among the targeted sample of Al Hudaydah Governorate are 21: Ad Durayhimi, Al Mighlaf, At Tuhayat, Jabal Ra's, Al Garrahi, Al Hali, Al Marawi'ah, Al Mina, Az Zaydiyah, Az Zuhrah, Bajil, Bayt Al Faqiah, Hays, Zabid, Ad Dahi, Al Hawak, Al Khawkhah, Al Qanawis, As Sukhnah, Bura, and Alluheyah.However, Ad Durayhimi. Al-Mighlaf and At Tuhayat were not included in this data collection because it is considered a conflict zone.

The analysis of the landlords’ data shows that 93.9% accepts to rent to IDPs, while 6.1% do not (Figure 10). The high percentage of landlords who already rented to IDPs and those who confirmed their willingness to rent to IDPs indicates that there are no restrictions on renting to IDPs or any kind of discrimination against IDPs in this Governorate. However, the reason why some landlords are unwilling to rent to IDPs might be a result of inability of IDPs to pay rentregularly.

The reasons were: 27.8% for security, 13.3% availability of job opportunities, 12% being welcomed by the local community, the rest of the reasons are shown in Figure (27). These results reflect that cheap rents and safety that are provided in this area were a priority for the tenants, especially for IDPs that moved from conflict areas in Al Hudaydah and its districts.

Yemen Shelter/NFI/CCCM Cluster Housing Rental Market Assessment –Al Hudaydah Governorate 11 | Page The difficulties faced by the tenants are as follows: inability to pay rent 30.9%, the influx of large numbers of IDPs which increased the demand for rented housing 29.1%, and lack of adequate housing 23.3%. Figure 29 lists the rest of the challenges. These results reflect that the difficulties and challenges facing the stability in the area are mainly the lack of housing for rent and inability of poor tenants to pay rent.

The results of the analysis of the focus group discussions and the analysis of the key informant interviews among both males and females confirm that the main difficulties faced by the majority of IDPs is the increase in rent costs, the scarcity of rented housing, and IDPs inability to pay rent. Figure (30) illustrates landlords’ main challenges in the rental market. These difficulties are as follows: 24.20% high demand for housing, 20.8% the demand of rental housing exceeds the availability of housing for rent (demand vs supply of rented housing), the remaining challenges are shown in figure (30).

The results of the analysis of the focus group discussions and the analysis of the key informant interviews among both males and females confirm that housing’ rent costs will increase by 10% – 50% due to the continuing influx of IDPs, the dollar exchange rate, and scarcity of rented housing. The results of the analysis of the focus group discussions and the analysis of the key informant interviews among both males and females confirm that, despite the fact that the community highly sympathizes with IDPs, yet sometimes IDPs are forced to evict rented housing due to non-payment of rent or delaying rent payment. Figure (50) illustrates the results of the tenants’ sample analysis in regards to alternatives that tenants are considering in case of unavailability of rented housing. 29% will live in tents, 28.1% will try to find cheaper / more affordable rented housing, 13% will stay with hosting families, 9.5% will stay with friends 8.7% will likely return to their hometowns / villages, and 11.7% said that they do not know.

• The community of Al Hudaydah Governorate is a civil society that accepts the presence of IDPs and treats them with respect and provides IDPs with support. The results of the study also showed that the most prevalent fears that IDPs are facing are: being evicted from the rented housing due to their inability to pay rent, the prolongation of the war, not receiving humanitarian aids, unavailability of food provision, lack of rented housing and IDPs Hosting Sites. These issues have been highlighted by many participants in the focus groups. One participant said "the IDPs can be hosted for a short period of time due to the financial circumstances of the hosting community". Another participant said: "most IDPs cannot pay rent, thus we have no other option but to evict them”
• The analysis also showed that most fears that women and children have are: spread of diseases, dropping out of schools and begging, mixing at schools with individuals from different upbringings, children suffering from psychological stress and social isolation, fear from harassment especially if the woman is the head of the family, and fear of airstrikes. 3 The Relationships between IDP’s and the Hosting Community The tenants’ sample analysis study (Figure 56) shows that 85.8% of tenants have friends and relatives living in the same area, and 14.2% do not have friends or relatives in the same neighborhood.

7 Conclusions The study revealed a number of aspects related to the housing rental market in the Governorate of Al Hudaydah, which can be summarized as follows:
• IDPs in Al Hudaydah moved from Hajjah Governorate: from Midi and Haradh. And Al-Makha from Taiz Governorate. IDPs who moved from within the same Governorate fled areas of conflict in the outskirts of Al Hudaydah Governorate: Al-Diryhimi, Hees, Al-Tahyta, Al- Khokhah (close to the west coast).
• The year 2018 witnessed a new influx of IDPs as a result of the escalations of conflict as new areas were affected by the war in the Governorate.
• The analysis indicates that the majority of the tenants’ household members in the target districts fall into two categories: 45.63% of which are between 18 to 55 years, and 27.84% between 5 to 18 years.
• According to the results households’ members are distributed as follows: 50.03% female and 49.97% male. These results reveal that consideration should be given to respond to the needs of women and girls that form 50.03% of the households, and to the children under five years who form 20.12% of the households.
• The assessment shows that housing capacity in the Governorate of Al Hudaydah is quite limited. Based on the sample of this study, only 8% of the housing available for rent are not occupied. Moreover, the tenants’ analysis shows that tenants are facing a hard time finding housing for rent within their areas due to the spread of conflict.
• The analysis reveals that the local community’s willingness to receive more IDPs is subject to social relations between the hosting families and IDPs. Also, accommodating more IDPs in the Governorate of Al Hudaydah is more likely for IDPs from within the same districts.
Yemen Shelter/NFI/CCCM Cluster Housing Rental Market Assessment –Al Hudaydah Governorate 24 | Page • The study reveals that the majority of tenants live in small rented housing where minimum standards may not even exist. This needs to be considered if cash for rent programs are going to be introduced.
• The results of tenants’ data analysis show that the average rent in the Governorate of Al Hudaydah is 13820 riyals in the rural areas of the 17 districts, however this rate is not the same in the urban areas. The estimation cost of basic services is 4,830 YER, subject to price fluctuation, especially for water and fuel.
• The analysis also shows that the common method of paying rent is in cash. The average rent cost could be increased significantly in the coming months as the majority of tenants expect the average increase rate to go up by 27.1% over the next 12 months.
• The study shows that a large number of IDPs, due to the prolonged duration of the war, fear of being unable to pay rent and consequently being evicted. Furthermore, it was found that the average income of the household partners is approximately 30,789 YER per month which makes IDPs’ life challenging, for it is an extreme burden on them to meet the essential responsibilities including housing and services which is estimated to form 62% of their total income of the household. This reflects the financial crisis which IDPs are enduring.
• Targeting IDPs exclusively by international aids is causing a rift in relationships between the IDPs and the local community. Including the local community in humanitarian aid should be considered.
• The results of the study also showed the important role of international organizations that provide urgent assistance for IDPs and to the children of the local community due to the deterioration of the humanitarian conditions in this area.
• The common form of rental contracts in the area is based on verbal agreements rather than legal written contracts, which shows that official contracts are not predominant in Al Hudaydah Governorate.
• The tenants’ sample analysis study shows that many of the IDPs/tenants feel safe in the area where they live and have friends and relatives living in that area. Also, 93.3% of IDPs tenants stated that they feel part of the neighborhood.
• The results of the analysis also show that Al Hudaydah’s community has good relations with IDPs, however, the existence of large numbers of IDPs has contributed an additional burden on the area’s basic services, which were not enough for the residents themselves even before the arrival of IDPs. More consideration for multi-sector intervention is needed in order to facilitate the living conditions of the hosting community and the IDPs without disturbing the life conditions of the local community.
Yemen Shelter/NFI/CCCM Cluster Housing Rental Market Assessment –Al Hudaydah Governorate 25 | Page • Results from the data analysis indicates that 52.7% of the rented housing managed by the landlords are in acceptable conditions and only need minor repairs, and 28.6% of the housing are in good conditions and do not require any maintenance, and 18.7% are in bad conditions and need maintenance and repairs.
• The results of the analysis showed an approval of 93.4% among landlords to participate in any future programs to support rent for IDPs. 77.6% of landlords are willing to show housing’ ownership documents, and 82.9% of landlords are willing to receive rent through the banking system and provide a delivery receipt.
