Public Rental Housing

About 704 300 flats are available for public rental housing. It is
the government's policy to ensure that these flats are allocated
only to families in genuine need. The average waiting time for
a public rental flat is six and a half years. The government has
pledged to reduce this to under five years by 2001 (almost a
50 per cent improvement on 1990 where the waiting time was
nine years), to four years by 2003 and to three years by 2005.
