SloveniaThe article discusses the impact of Slovenia's Housing Act from 1991, which allowed over 160,000 individuals and families to purchase their homes at very favorable prices during the transition from a socialist to a market economy. The law was primarily aimed at preserving homes for people rather than establishing a housing market. Over 690,000 housing units existed in Slovenia in 1991, with two-thirds being single-family homes. Approximately 230,000 of these were owned by the state, local governments, or various institutions, and residents had the right to live there at low rents. The Housing Act enabled those with housing rights to become homeowners, significantly influencing social development in Slovenia.
