| Abstract | The market mechanism is not functioning well for low-cost public housing; therefore, a government housing intervention policy is needed in order to solve the problem of unsold units and create a sustainable society. The possible policy for solving the existing problem of unsold units and enhancing effective elderly housing management consists of improving the transportation system, and creating a good social environment and security system. In addition, the government should offer to sell or rent houses to elderly households. The government should allocate the first and second floor of buildings for elderly households. However, the rental and purchase rates should vary depending on the conditions of elderly households, housing size, facilities and services. Moreover, providing home remodeling and reverse mortgage load will help elderly households who are asset rich and cash poor. |
