Summary/Abstract: The housing policy and housing are an extremely important field of the economic, social and political development of postcommunist countries. The experience of developed countries proves that the meeting of housing needs cannot be left to the market alone. State intervention in the housing consumption in post-communist countries is necessary. On the basis of the experiences of developed countries in the field of social housing, the text gives a typology of the intervention of the state in the housing market. Housing problems and issues connected with the economic, social and political development of Croatia are analysed. The potential of the development of social housing in Croatia (intervention of the state in the housing market) is analysed within the context of current ecconomic, social and political circumstances in the country. The results of this analysis are obstacles and limitations for the development of social housing in Croatia. The analysis made points out modest possibilities of the development of social housing in Croatia, while the intervention of the state in the housing market will be insufficient and inefficient.
