Analysis of two alternative housing policies: rental and collective housing 2013, para. 3
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Developed and developing countries have been steadily moving away from traditional supply-side assistance to demand-side housing policies. As a result, the financial sector and the private housing market became the primary mechanisms for allocating housing, by encouraging households to take credit, while the role of public housing and supply-side incentives has been gradually declining. Development assistance greatly influenced the expansion of market-based housing finance and boosted housing market activity in developing countries.
