  12. Socio-Economic Impact of Public Housing: Lessons from Singapore • A singular feature of the residential market in Singapore is the existence of a small private housing sector alongside a large state-sponsored and regulated public housing sector. Almost 86% of Singapore’s population live in public housing. • Capital gains from the HDB (public) secondary market are a significant factor in easing entry into higher quality private housing. • Public housing supports upward mobility from entry level housing; helps generate initial wealth accumulation. • Public housing is key determinant of overall housing market dynamics.

  13. US National/State and Local Housing Policy • Supply side • Developer Tax credits for low income housing units • Redevelopment programs with tax increment financing set asides for housing (package deals) • Local fair share and below market rate requirements • Demand side • Homeowner mortgage interest tax credit • First-time homebuyer credits (temporary) • Mortgage guarantee system and GSEs • Rental housing vouchers

  14. Lessons from Affordable Housing Schemes from Around the World • Impact of zoning • Stringent quality standards can reduce supply • Allocation of land to non-residential uses • Fiscal zoning, i.e. stress on commercial usage • Clear relationship between regulatory bottlenecks, land-use regulations and supply elasticities on one hand and house prices on other
