“…Satisfaction of housing needs represents a basic human aspect for poor families across the world (Al-Hamoud, 2010;Iommi, 2011;K'akumu, 2007). A variety of housing models and alternatives have been used for many years (Robinson et al, 2010;Teater, 2009); however, evidence on the need to utilize integrated developmental services within the vicinity of housing became more obvious (Rog et al, 2014).…”

This study examined the impact of participating in social services programs designed for families who reside in supportive housing on their overall quality of life. A random sample of 300 households from a total of 1,400 families who reside in the Prince Salman Housing Program (PSHP) in Saudi Arabia were selected. PSHP provides a number of services such as job training, education, and micro-credit training. The following 6 independent variables were examined using 1 dependent variable, "quality of life": challenge to family functioning, family communication, communication with organization, perception of social services, family resources, and housing equipments. Overall findings showed statistical significance between communication with organizations and perception of services as these variables influence the overall quality of life among participating families. Future research should continue to assess the overall impact of participation in social services programs on families who reside in supportive housing projects.

“…Programs such as the Housing Benefit were proposed, which aimed at constructing affordable houses for low-income families; however, this program was later revised and the Local Housing Allowance was included in it (Hamnett 2009;Colburn 2019). In Italy, housing policy regarding renting or owning property has been discussed (Caruso 2017), and there has been a great change, with the national government delegating authority to local government (Iommi 2011). In France, the main elements of low-income housing policy have included the construction of public housing, the payment of direct rent subsidies to households, and help for low-income residents.…”

Increasing urbanization, a massive migration to the big cities, and an imbalance between supply and demand for housing have introduced a housing shortage over the past few decades. The housing issue in Iran has been addressed through government housing provision and development programs. A brief review of the government's policies on development programs shows that government-based and market-based approaches are the two main types in the housing sector. Although the government initially had a primary role in housing provision, this responsibility was gradually transferred to the private sector, but without a proper balance between housing supply and demand. In this article, we will explore the different housing policies and examine the successes and failures of each one.

“…Housing policy has thus close links with issues such as the urbanization and demography (Paris, 1995;Mussa et al, 2017); various economic issues (Cerutti et al, 2017;Tang and Coulson, 2017;Ihlanfeldt and Mayock, 2015); land policy ; access to facilities and infrastructure (Fai and Lo, 2017); immigration (Mussa et al, 2017); renovation, improvement and regeneration plans (Munro, 1993); labor force (Zabel, 2012); justice and security of residence (Gooding, 2016); marginalization and informal settlements (Kilgarriff et al, 2019); environment quality (Gooding, 2016); place identity and sense of place (Gustavsson and Elander, 2016); poverty (Ellen et al, 2016); wealth (Berry, 2003); health and education (Rohe and Stegman, 1994); and crime (Horner, 2009). Therefore, key concepts such as the social justice, spatial justice, and recently the right to adequate housing are tied to housing policies that seek to provide decent, adequate and affordable housing for all (in terms of location, quality, dimensions and price) (Iommi, 2011).…”

Purpose Housing policy is a key tool in urban development and has multiple functions that directly affect human welfare. This study aims to review housing policies in Iran from a critical perspective. In fact, the study and pathology of housing policies are considered in this research. Design/methodology/approach To advance this research, a quantitative (fuzzy TOPSIS and fuzzy AHP) method was used to rank the policies and the qualitative method (interview and literature review) was used for the pathology of housing policies. Findings The failure of policies to provide housing in Iran is decisive, but social housing policy has a relative superiority to other policies. Causes of failure of Iranian housing policies are as follows in a pathological perspective: commodification and speculative approach to housing; lake of social and physical sustainability; social stratification and classification; inconsistency with environmental conditions; non-indigenous nature of housing policies; exclusion of local institutions in the decision-making process; and the dominance of a populist perspective on housing. Originality/value This study is a comprehensive study because it has been extracted from the dissertation. By reading this study, the reader will be aware of the general conditions of the Iranian housing sector.
