This report highlights several important issues necessary for countries in the region to develop comprehensive and inclusive housing policies. The issues include improving the recording and tracking of demand and supply-side data on housing and land markets, reviewing regulatory and development standards for new and existing construction, considering an array of urban land acquisition techniques in partnership with civil society groups, and improving support for a diversity of tenure forms, especially by promoting various private and nonprofit rental housing options as an alternative to home ownership. Housing policies in EAP should aim to lower rental housing expenditures to no more than a third of net house hold incomes.
