Allocative facts and welfare rights in housing

Mandič, Srna (author)

The paper examines the changes that the meaning of housing has undergone during transition. It is argued that the 'shelter' function of housing has lost some of it's significance, while it's investment function has gained it. The main vehicle for this change were the two property-centered policies - housing privatization and restitution. The paper observes the transformations initiated by these two policies and examines both their acknowledged goals and the real outcomes, as well as their social costs It argues that these policies were formulated mainly to solve wealth allocation issues ('who gets what property under what conditions'), while the housing policy and the welfare outcomes were largely sacrificed, especially the new safety-net provisions.
