“…Austria has maintained and continues to grow a large social housing sector (20% of all dwellings), comprising municipal housing companies and limited-profit housing associations. The latter are increasing their share of the housing system, with municipal housing declining slightly-although the city of Vienna, which owns the largest stock of municipal housing in Europe (216,000 dwellings), continues to grow its portfolio (Lawson, Legacy et al 2016). The system is underpinned by federal government transfers to Austria's provincial governments, which design programs to provide grants, low-interest loans, interest subsidies and rent assistance.…”

“…In federal systems, complexity of governance and the necessity for resource sharing, negotiation and partnership, provide both barriers and opportunities for comprehensive standards, the design of responsive programs and good housing outcomes. A fuller discussion of this topic can be found in Lawson, Legacy et al (2016), which contrasted four federal states and their role in housing policies and programs.…”

“…At the Commonwealth level, the tax system strongly drives residential mortgage investment in private dwellings through capital gains tax exemptions and negative gearing. Revenue foregone through these measures greatly surpasses direct assistance to low-income households in rental housing (Lawson, Legacy et al 2016).
