The fund was established to meet the costs of the construction of new buildings or extensions to existing buildings, the acquisition of land that may be required and major maintenance and repairs of real estate assets owned by the Organization. Specific Health Assembly authorization is required for acquisition of land and construction of buildings or building extensions.

- Appropriations by Member States from other funds;
- Rents charged for housing, office or use of space for conferences, accommodation, concessions, garage space;
- Interest earned on the investments of the fund balance.
