The Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia, in Article 78, obliges the state to create conditions that enable citizens to acquire adequate housing, therefore governments should ensure a policy that will address the housing crisis. The purpose of thesis is to assess whether the the goals of housing policy in Slovenia were achieved and to determine whether public expenditure for its implementation was really used efficiently. To assess the effectiveness, we relied on the target values of housing indicators set by ReNSP15-25. We measured the efficiency of housing policies in 25 selected European Union countries in the period between 2015 and 2022. From the available housing indicators, we formulated a proposal for three models and analyzed them using data envelopement analysis. The results show that the implementation of housing policy in Slovenia is inefficient compared to other member states. As more than half of the target values of housing indicators were not achieved, implementation was not effective either. Comparing the effiicency of housing policy orientaton, whether directed at the demand the supply, results have shown higher efficiency in demand side orientation. In the context of public economics, thesis provides insight into the optimal use of budgetary resources the field of housing policy and can be helpful for politicians when formulating the next housing program. The challenge of thesis is non-existence of universal housing policy. With lack of indicators on direct outputs of housing policies, which are mostly focused on immeasurable results, implementation of housing policies remains intransparent.
