Housing policy is usually seen as the domain of national governments, and in many countries local authorities have relinquished direct engagement in the promotion of adequate housing. High costs associated with related policies and programmes are often cited as justification for minimal involvement, leading to fewer community-level interventions on affordable formal housing. This article presents financial approaches for local government leaders and decision-makers to consider in furthering affordable access to adequate housing for their citizens. The article argues that when local governments engage on housing with innovation and financial pragmatism, the housing needs of the urban poor and vulnerable can be better served.

Although some scholars have discussed the serious shortage of appropriate housing for people with disabilities, planners and housing policy makers have been largely silent on this issue. We summarize the literature, to date, about the housing needs of people with disabilities in the United States. We investigate what progress states have made in addressing these needs since the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) by examining recent court-ordered state Olmstead plans and their U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Consolidated plans. We find that states are mostly aware of the size and housing needs of people with disabilities but have not yet developed sufficient programming.

O presente estudo trata do financiamento da habitação social no Brasil no período de 2006 a 2012. Para isso, a metodologia envolveu a pesquisa teórica e do orçamento público da União. A institucionalização da política habitacional se desenvolveu num contexto de tomada do Estado como indutor de uma macroeconomia sob o ideário do social-liberalismo. Nessa perspectiva, ocorreu a reestruturação do mercado imobiliário e sob a crise econômica de 2008 a implementação de medidas anticíclicas para minimizá-la. Para a promoção da habitação social tivemos o Fundo Nacional de Habitação de Interesse Social orientado a satisfazer as necessidades habitacionais da população. Contudo, este foi paulatinamente desfinanciado e esvaziado de seu sentido político. Em 2009, foi criado o Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida com caráter de privilegiamento do produtor privado, o que possibilita a punção de fundo público e a redução da responsabilidade do Estado sob a habitação social como direito social. Palavras-chave: Crise do capital, Política de habitação social, Orçamento público.CAPITAL CRISIS AND PUBLIC SOCIAL HOUSING BUDGET IN BRAZIL Abstract: This study deals the financing of social housing in Brazil between the years 2006 to 2012.

The Empirical Analysis

Abstract Research background: This paper attempts to introduce the concept of Polish housing policy and define its course. Purpose: The main aim of the paper is to attribute the theoretical model of Polish housing policy and its goals and summarize the practical instruments and programs implemented between 2002 and 2016 to try to answer the question in what way the state was helping households to fulfil housing needs. Research methodology: The research method used in the paper was a query of Polish and foreign literature of housing policy models, goals and instruments in the theoretical part, in the practical part (main research) is the monograph analysis of Polish housing policy between 2002 and 2016 including: housing resource, housing supply and change of their structure in the examined timeline, availability of apartments, supply of mortgages and connections with the availability of apartments and macroeconomic situation measured by the yearly GDP per capita. Results: Theoretical and practical solutions were made. Polish housing policy can be defined as a wide ranging selective model according to Ghekiere (2009) division, the empirical analysis of the adopted solutions risks – marginalization of social housing and substantial impact of the financial sector (banking and mortgages) on housing which may be negative in the case of an economic crisis. Novelty: The value of this paper is a contribution to the debate on defining a theoretical model of housing policy and an explanation of the changes in housing in Poland from 2002–2016.
