"Without direct public provision or subsidies, market-based housing finance fails to reach low-income households"

🏛️ What does the MDB say? — IMF 2018 (nearest to 2023)

"No stance found: IMF 2018 excerpts contain no analysis or position on affordable housing finance or provision."

The provided 2018 IMF excerpts do not address affordable housing policy, market-based mortgage finance, or public social housing subsidies for the urban poor. The citations consist entirely of external academic and institutional references (e.g., Poterba, Reinhart & Rogoff, Shiller, HUD) and IMF publication catalog listings — none contain IMF analysis, recommendations, or positions on housing finance models or interventions.
