The data provided and the information available in the OECD Benefit and Wages (www.oecd.org/els/social/workincentives~) show that the country provides some form of support for homeownership and rental assistance. Source: OECD Questionnaire on Affordable and Social Housing 2014, see Box 3 for QuASH details and coverage. Due to data limitations, the monetary value of support provided through rent controls and tax relief for residential housing is not quantified in OECD QuASH and is therefore not included in the spending figures. It is important to stress that this is a first attempt at producing comparable data on the instruments and amount of support towards affordable and social housing in OECD countries. In particular, not all reporting countries provided information on all surveyed instruments and information on spending, recipiency and eligibility is often missing. As a consequence, the number of reporting countries changes across policy types.
