The housing issue is one of the chronic social issues in Turkey just like low quality education, terror and unemployment which we have been unable to solve since the foundation of the Republic of Turkey. The Housing Development Administration plays a key role in housing policies. The housing development administration used to provide credits to housing cooperatives in 1980s and it is now transformed into a Construction Company that handles zoning, oversees urban transformation projects and sells public lands.

The second part, on the other hand, will focus on the problems observed and lay emphasize on the reasons of these problems. A general evaluation will be the final part of the paper.
