What is the issue |
World Development Goals for 2015-2030
| Social housing is often not sustainable. | Universal health care has to be included in development goals | Sustainable building certification may increase its rent. | The Oak Ridge National Laboratory was tasked with measuring the success of the weatherization aid. |
| Root causes
| The emphasis has been on economic indexes rather than people up to now
| Social housing policies focus only on one of the three: economic, environmental and social factors that would indicate a successful social housing policy. | Higher income parts of the society fear the tax burden that universal health care could potentially put on them. | Building owners often pass on the sustainability and weatherization costs to rents | Weatherization improves living conditions and saves money. However, it cannot be put in effect successfully by low-income people, therefore there is a pilot program for economic aid for weatherization |
| Societal burden of the issue | Economic Indexes may show development, but hide huge inequalities. Governments are usually more interested in the former. However, sudden crises reveal the problems.
| Houses are either unaffordable for lower income residents to whom they are aimed; or environmentally unsound. | Without universal health care, societies cannot reach their maximum potential. | The goal of sustainable and environmentally friendly housing can be made artificially overpriced. | The societal burden is eased by reducing the energy bills of weatherized homes and reducing the carbon emissions at the same time. |
| History of the issue | The problem goes back to the definition of GDP and the establishment of GDP measurements as index of development.
| It is easier to focus on a simple measure (usually affordability) of newly created social housing, to measure its success. | Universal Health Care was enacted in parts of the developed world excluding the US after WWII. Recent trends of aging populations and increasing immigration there have strained the system. | There has been a clear trend of increasing overpricing housing that has had ENERGY STAR characterization. | (None in this report) |
| Enacted policies so far | Some alternatives to GDP and alternative indexes for the well-being of society have been developed.
| The success of social housing is measured mainly in its affordability and the cost to benefit analysis of new housing | Some small steps towards universal health care ion developed economies. | No policies so far (in this source) | Weatherization assistance for low income households. |
| Proposed solution | Return focus on people instead of economic indexes, encourage local solutions and participation.
| Explore alternative indexes of success for social housing | Strengthen health delivery systems, produce and retain more and relevant health workers, and progressively realize universal health care. | No proposed solution (in this source) | Weatherization assistance seems successful and should be continued and/or applied to more homes. |
