Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper examines the achievements and limitations of housing assistance programs for low-income households. Korean public rental housing has been rapidly developing since 2000, and thereby achieved an increase in public rental housing stock, housing quality improvements, and the reduction of rent over-burden for low-income tenants. Despite some conflicting evidence, it appears that the provision of newly-built public rental housing has helped stabilize the prices of neighboring private rental housing units. But, as we are entering an era of one million long-term public rental housing units, we need to shift our focus from quantity-oriented provision to housing maintenance for tenants, and from cost-based rental housing to affordable rental housing and better access to rental housing for low-income tenants who are not beneficiaries of government assistance. Most of all, it is very important for local governments and the private sector to actively participate in the provision of public rental housing in order to ensure a stable rental housing market.Key words: Public Rental Housing, Low-Income Tenant, Housing Welfare, Housing Assistance Program
韩国低收入家庭公共租赁住房:主要成果和局限性
本文考察了低收入家庭住房援助计划的成就与局限性。从2000年开始,韩国的公共租赁住宅迅速发展,实现了公共租赁住宅存量的增加、住宅质量的改善、低收入者的租金负担的减轻等。尽管有一些相互矛盾的证据,但提供新建公共租赁住房似乎有助于稳定邻近私人租赁住房的价格。但是,随着我们进入100万套长期公共租赁住房的时代,我们需要把重点从以数量为导向转向为租户提供住房维修,从以成本为基础的租赁住房转向负担得起的租赁住房,并为没有获得政府援助的低收入租户提供更好的租赁住房。最重要的是,地方政府和私营部门积极参与公共租赁住房的提供,以确保租赁住房市场的稳定。关键词:公共租赁住房;低收入租户;住房福利
