INCREASING THE LEVEL OF HOUSING AFFORDABILITY ON THE EXAMPLE OF A CONSTITUENT ENTITY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The study addresses the issue of reducing the level of housing affordability for citizens in recent years. The results of calculating the housing affordability index (LDI) are analyzed. The emphasis is placed on the need to develop a segment of low-rise real estate in conjunction with the program proposed by the author for the gratuitous provision of land plots for targeted individual housing development (CIHS). The level of accessibility of housing and communal services in the Leningrad region has been calculated, as well as the necessary land bank required for the implementation of the proposed preferential program to increase housing affordability for citizens.
