The housing problem is progressively more pronounced both in the Republic of Slovenia and elsewhere in Europe. Today, many young people are also facing housing problems or solving their first housing problem. Every young individual achieves his autonomy by living independently, which is said to be a key point in becoming independent in life. Nowadays, fewer and fewer residents can secure a suitable apartment based on market rents.
The thesis consists of theoretical and empirical work. In the thesis, descriptive and comparative methods are used. The concept of housing,suitable housing and constitutional right to suitable housing is described. The operation of the republican housing fund and municipal funds, types of rental housing, and housing policy are presented. In the empirical work, based on existing secondary data obtained from articles and annual reports, we presented the standards of suitable housing and compared the policy of suitable non-profit housing in the cities of Vienna and Ljubljana. Based on the described policies, we presented the differences. The theoretical work aims to present a review of the literature, based on the descriptive method. The empirical work aims to present the standards of suitable housing and the policy of non-profit housing in Vienna and Ljubljana to identify the differences between the considered policies.
Our analysis has shown that policies for the provision of affordable housing differ significantly in some important aspects. The policy on suitable housing in Ljubljana is defined very broadly and does not address the particular needs of tenants at a certain point in their lives. However, based on Vienna's suitable housing policy, we have found that the policy has been well designed from the beginning which provides tenants with affordable and suitable housing.
