What the paper says
It is well established globally in literature that getting married and its timing may crucially depend firstly on housing. In Asia, purchasing a house is a sign of the commitment of young people to marriage. This is the case in Lebanon where the phenomenon of marriage crisis is increasingly prominent due to the housing crisis in 1990s. Accordingly, the Lebanese Maronite Order (LMO) implemented affordable housing projects. The aim of this paper is to discuss the motive behind the implementation of the LMO projects which was the subject of an evaluative research conducted in 2019 to evaluate the effectiveness of LMO’s constructions. This evaluative research applied the evaluation of the implementation and the evaluation of the results. It involved the beneficiary owners by a questionnaire and those responsible for the housing projects by semi-structured interview. This study confirms that the LMO housing program was a relevant response to the historical context and to the needs of the target population; needs that are still relevant today. As a result, this study affirms the success of these projects which must be multiplied. Nevertheless, it is essential to take into consideration the results and the findings and the recommendations of this research.
