The article reviews the important characteristic features of American public housing. It focuses on the essential stages of the development of public housing policy, processes, changes in this policy, and their causes. A comparative analysis of the current trends in the generation, management, and maintenance of public housing policy in a post-socialist country and a country with a free market is made. The accumulated historical experience of a developed country, with a free market economy, like the USA, which is reviewed in the article, can be used to adapt it to the realities of Georgia, which is in the period of transformation from socialism to capitalism.
