Summary/Abstract: Launched in April 2016, the 500 Plus family program significantly reduces the poverty level in many families, contributes to increased consumption, and perhaps even to the increase in fertility in Poland. The second key program of social family policy in Poland launched in December 2016 is the Plus Program. This program, by improving the housing situation, should fulfill the essential functions of housing policy in terms of reducing the social disintegration of families in Poland. The main purpose of the Plus Apartment program is to significantly increase the availability of flats, especially low-cost flats with the possibility of buying out properties after 20-30 years of use. The consequence of the development of this program on a larger scale in the coming years will be to offer such housing primarily to families who have so far been unable to rent and purchase apartments on the free market due to low incomes and lack of creditworthiness. If the plan adopted by the government in the next years of the Plus Apartment program is implemented by 2030, the level of housing availability for citizens in Poland will be close to the average in the European Union.
