Summary/Abstract: The institution of social housing is analyzed in the framework of transitional processes. Firstly, the question is raised about the nature of the phenomenon and some evidence presented to show that the direct state involvement as well as its targeting to marginal social groups are not the inherent attributes of social housing as such. After highlighting the models of social housing and their features under socialism, the current transformation is described. lt is argued that the alleviation of the old models of social housing was much more successful than the implementation of new models. The first process, subject to privatisation, presented a major public concern, while the latter is quite the opposite: implementation of new models of social housing has not yet entered the public agenda and is treated as a domain of the state administration.
