Housing Policies in the U.S. and Korea: Balancing Affordability with Financial Viability

The Wilson Center is organizing this seminar in collaboration with the Land and Housing Institute (LHI), Korea Land and Housing Corporation, based in Seoul, Korea, as a part of a comprehensive study and exchange of affordable housing policies in the U.S. to inform Korean policies and programs. A panel of experts will examine best practices as well as limitations found in U.S. housing policies and will highlight patterns in programming. The seminar will present a range of perspectives on affordable housing, focusing on the trend away from centralized, supply-side approaches toward decentralized, demand-driven housing policies. Panelists will reflect upon subsidy and voucher programs as well as housing tax credits, leading to a discussion of the lessons and implications of the U.S. experience for the Korean context.
