Now, 96 percent of the housing stock in the country is privately owned, and the remaining 4 percent in government hands for social rental is not aimed at low-income households. No national system of affordable housing allowances exists.

As a result, there is an excess of the higher priced units which contrast markedly with the severe shortage of low and middle income units.
