Abstract: Municipal housing is highly capital-intensive and therefore the majority of local government units (LGUs) in Poland cannot afford to provide council housing fast enough to shorten the waiting lists. Strengthening and development of municipal or affordable rent housing sector is one of the key challenges that housing policy at the municipal level in Poland has to face. According to the author, an interesting solution in this respect is to incorporate public-private partnership into the toolkit for implementing housing policy. This solution has been used for a long time in England, where the burden of providing housing to low income households was passed from LGUs to private non-profit organisations.
