This paper describes the Eastern European Regional Housing Project, which ran from 1990-1996 in response to the collapse of state-sponsored housing production in the area. It defines the context for the contract in the areas of housing, privatization, rental sector reform, and housing finance; the technical assistance approach used during the program; and the results achieved. Overall changes in the Central and Eastern Europe housing sector during the contract period, and detailed, country-specific results for Hungary, Albania, Romania, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia are also presented.
