Abstract

The article examines the status and the change of the parameters characterizing the housing policy in the Northeastern region of the Republic of Bulgaria. Surveyed are the various counties in the Northeastern Region of Bulgaria - Varna, Dobrich, Targovishte and Shumen. Subject of analysis are the strategic goals, the operational aspects and the indicators characterizing the housing policy in these counties. Analyzed and outlined are the impact of specific factors on housing policy and the vision and strategic objectives thereof in this region of the country. The conclusions may be summarized as follows: the strategic objectives are aimed at improving the condition of existing housing and the provision new affordable housing for the population. Housing affordability for the population is improved as a result of reduced price levels and increased incomes. The residential standard, the housing concentration and the average housing area are growing as a result of a slowdown in housing numbers relative to the population and the growth rate of the housing area. These changes are the result of the demographic, economic and social changes in this part of the country.
