Abstract: This chapter presents an overview of the social housing system in Germany. Unlike in many other contexts, social housing in Germany is conceived as a temporary, marketcorrecting policy; therefore, the social housing function is limited in time. While partially provided by the state, it is primarily supplied by the private sector. Due to privatisation efforts since the 1990s, the number of social housing units has decreased significantly. Moreover, although social housing rents must be below market level, they are becoming unaffordable due to general market price increases. In addition to social housing, Germany provides a housing allowance to low-income households to help cover rental costs or mortgage repayments. Tübingen, a growing secondary city in south-west Germany, faces similar housing challenges. However, initiatives such as the 'Tübingen Model' and strict regulations requiring developers to provide long-term affordable housing, have increased the social housing stock.</description>

Abstract: The Danish housing sector, which most closely resembles "social housing" in other countries, is the "public housing" sector (although it is privately owned). It is open to anyone who signs up for a waiting list - regardless of income and family circumstances. The sector is also called "non-profit" housing because the homes are rented out for the costs of land purchase, construction and financing, but not for profit to the developer (a housing company). The sector has tenants' democracy, i.e. tenants have a decisive influence on, for example, renovations and in relation to operations. The sector dominates in some suburbs of Copenhagen, where its share can reach over 50% of the housing stock; nationally, the sector constitutes approx. 20% of all housing. Residualisation is visible with a growing share of vulnerable groups among its tenants - e.g. single people, early retirees, people with an ethnic groups and low-income groups. The result is, among other things, the controversial "ghetto law".</description>
