Abstract

The paper examines accessibility of Low income earners to Public Housing in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Public Housing as social good which is targeted at the poor was highlighted. Income levels of residents of Owode Housing Estate and Ajoda Housing Estate was used in determination of the accessibility of Low income earners to Public Housing Estates. Descriptive statistics- frequency count was adopted in data analysis. The result shows that 73.4% and 37.15% of Owode and Ajoda Housing estate respectively are of low income cadre. The study therefore concluded that Owode housing estate is accessible to low income earners while Ajoda Housing estate is inaccessible to low income earners. This implies that low income earners are been shortchanged in the provision of houses by government. It recommends strict screening of allotees of the housing estates to ensure they are occupied by intended users (low income earners) as government has no business in providing accommodation for the rich and high income groups.
