Habitat for Humanity released global research based on surveys of over 30,000 people across 22 countries, including Indonesia and Nepal. The study found that 75% of respondents have cut back on at least one expense in the past year to cover housing costs. In the Asia-Pacific region, concern over extreme weather is high, with 35% in Nepal delaying home improvements due to housing expenses.
