Abstract :
Housing has been one of the most pressing issues for many strata, especially the low-income households, in recent decades. In many cases today, not having a home does not mean being homeless, it means not owning a housing unit and having housing as a safe investment and a point of security for the household, especially in old age and retirement. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the housing policies of low income groups in Iran. The type of research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. A library-based approach based on government documents, articles, magazines, press and statistics was used to collect the required information. Therefore, firstly, the overall definition of housing, housing indices and housing standards in the countries of the world was discussed, and then the housing policies of low income groups in Iran were evaluated. Housing has been one of the most pressing issues for many people in recent decades, especially low-income households in Iran. In recent years, governments have adopted various policies to meet the legal and customary expectations of low-income housing. The most important policies include clean housing policy, co-operative housing policy, rental housing policy (conditional rental), and housing and social housing.
