Due to the growth in dwelling maintenance costs, the rising rent rates and population impoverishment, the households’ demand for social apartments is increasing. Unfortunately, the municipal housing assets do not increase at the same pace. The aim of the paper is to assess the current economic and social situation of communal resources in relation to the social housing in Poland and the potential directions of their development. It is intended to discuss, in what part the current resources of social apartments meet the housing needs of the Polish population with lower incomes.
