Abstract

This article provides a comparative description of the development of the social housing sector in three transitional countries during the 1990s. Several features of social housing in the EU countries are mentioned to establish the indicators used as the methodological base for a critical evaluation of the development of social housing in the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. The indicators mainly reflect the targeting of supply- and demand-side housing subsidies, and the existence or quality of new legislation governing the operation of social housing in these countries. A brief description of housing reforms, changes in tenure structure and the social consequences of slow process of the transformation of rental housing is added. Though many problems remain unsolved the situation in Poland seems to be the most promising of the three countries studied because the new legislation allows for new social housing construction, and old housing policy measures were adopted to be targeted at households in real social need. In contrast, the low standard of 'social housing' legislation and the maintenance of non-targeted rent regulation in the Czech Republic and Slovakia do not improve housing affordability for lower income households.
