This indicator presents an overview of measures for property developers to finance the construction of new affordable housing as reported by responding countries to 2021, 2019, and 2016 OECD Questionnaire on Affordable and Social Housing (QuASH 2021, 2019, 2016). The scope of this indicator encompasses grants, subsidized loans or loan guarantees, tax relief, subsidized land, or other types of support to property developers to finance the construction of affordable housing for low-income households. Dwellings can be intended for owner occupation, rent, and/or other types of tenure.
Note that measures in this indicator do not include: demand-side subsidies that are provided directly to households to help them access affordable housing or supply-side supports towards the provision of social rental housing.
