Acute housing poverty and low housing affordability among low-to-mediumincome households have become challenges in the pursuit of a harmonious society in China.
Promoting housing subsidies and stimulating investment on affordable housing have been at the
center of China’s housing policy. This paper analyzes the correlation of affordable housing
program in Beijing with household affordability of adequate housing and accessibility to public
services, which include elementary and middle schools, hospitals and public transportation.
Economic and Comfortable Housing is studied based on unique database of eligible household
and affordable housing projects. We find that the program fails to make housing affordable and
accessible for eligible households. The implications of housing policy design in the context of
the economic and social well-being of targeted households are highlighted in the study.
