The aim of this text is to reflect the housing crisis in the Czech lands in the years 1918–1948 on the background of the work of social workers. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the subject matter, social workers were also engaged in the issue of housing. While administering housing care, social workers employed professional methods, which were applied during the analysed period. These methods reflected the needs of the residents while efficiently integrating professional knowledge and skills gained over the course of social work education. Both housing policy and the related housing care underwent intensive development. This paper focuses on the changes in the area of housing policy in the said period while considering the continuous development of social work, as well as social work methods, courses offered to social workers, and the presentation of their work in professional journals published at the time.

Housing policy has been and still is an important part of social policy. The intervention instruments of housing policy maintain a balance between the housing market and the financial affordability of adequate housing even for those with the lowest income. This article aims to analyse the involvement of social workers in addressing housing issues in the city of Ostrava in the context of the housing policy of the former Czechoslovakia. In terms of time, the project was focused mainly on the period of the first half of the 20th century, which is associated with the professionalization of social work in Czechoslovakia. Social work has been actively involved in the practical application of housing policy measures since residential care was made part of the work of social workers. The housing issue and seeking solutions to it in Ostrava more or less followed the progress of the country as a whole. The emphasis on the readiness of future professional social workers in the performance of residential care under the respective departments in state institutions in Ostrava was already incorporated into their training. The social work methods applied in Ostrava included social casework. Ostrava based companies, in particular Vítkovice Ironworks have made contributions to housing construction and residential care. Based on studies of archival resources it can be concluded that social work as a practical activity was actively involved in addressing housing issues during the reporting period.
