Development of Housing Stock for Moderate and Slightly Below Moderate Income Citizens: Foreign Practices/ A.B. Kopeikin, N.N. Rogozhina, A.A. Tumanov. – Moscow, IUE, 2009. – 130 pages

This book analyzes foreign practices of developing housing stock for moderate and slightly below moderate income households. Individual categories of citizens in the European countries and USA are subsidized and moderate income households are covered by special mortgage programs. Moreover, there is a great variety of construction and housing allocation models there, which stand somewhere between purely market models and social housing models for low-income citizens. The authors review the experience of the UK housing associations and relevant programs implemented in the United States, Scandinavian countries, France, etc. They offer affordable housing supply schemes for moderate and slightly below moderate income citizens that are applicable for Russia.

The book targets state officials, regional and municipal administrations responsible for the housing policy and participants of the housing market (employees of banks, housing and mortgage funds and construction companies).
