The paper aims at determining the housing situation in the voivodeships of eastern Poland as the border region of the European Union. The indicators characterizing the eastern regions of Poland were collected and compared with the other areas of Poland, Poland as a whole and corresponding international parameters. The studies confirmed the poor housing situation in the eastern Poland as indicated by earlier analyses. The low standard of housing, overpopulation and, first of all, a significant statistical deficit of housing units are the major problems of housing in eastern Poland. These are mainly the effects of the heritage of the past and insufficient activities aiming at improvement of the housing situation during the period of transformation. Stabile housing policy and increase of the position of the state and local governments in creating it, first of all thanks to the structural funds originating from the European Union directly linked to the housing are necessary for improvement of that situation.
