Discussion on the possibility of implementing the policy of “housing for all” in Israel

Download the full report

Housing policy in the city of Vienna is an example of social policy that promotes “housing for all.” The policy involves a large proportion of housing being developed “outside of the market,” that is, housing whose rents are not determined by the mechanism of supply and demand. A new document by the Adva Center, created in cooperation with the Van Leer Institute, analyzes the possibility of implementing the policy of “housing for all” in Israel, in response to its prolonged housing crisis.

To launch this new document, we organized an event for the general public, in which representatives from the city of Vienna and from the Austrian Federation of Limited-Profit Housing Associations, as well as relevant Israeli representatives, discussed whether and in what way it may be possible to guarantee in Israel – housing for all.
