Introduction: In recent years, a weak interest in this segment a of the property market has been noticeable among social housing providers. The demand from practice and the existing gap in the Polish literature create a wide field for scientific research of a cognitive and applied nature. Considerations and research in the field of investing in social housing are justified, among others, by the fact that the validity of investing in the social housing market has already been confirmed in highly developed countries, for example in Austria. In Poland, however, this segment is still in the growth phase. Therefore, the potential of the housing and financial markets has not been fully exploited yet. A review of foreign experiences in creating a housing offer for social housing, as well as a detailed analysis of model and innovative solutions, will allow the identification of key success factors for this type of investment project. Aim of the paper: The aim of the work is to present the Viennese model of social construction and housing, its role in the functional and spatial structure of the city, the administrative and organizational environment, and to assess the housing conditions and quality of life that this model offers. Materials and methods: The article uses a structured literature review of social housing, including those from publications of the Statistisches Jahrbuch der Stadt Wien. The study has an overview character. Results and conclusions: The city of Vienna, as a model example of social housing with specific conditions that are difficult to find in other cities and being a city-land that can create its own tax policy, which largely financed social housing, has created a unique ability to meet housing needs through appropriate activities of organizational and administrative structures. and units responsible for construction and social housing management. The Vienna model is not fully adaptable to Polish conditions, due to differences resulting from administrative, legal and financial regulations, as well as a different model of approach to social housing in Austria and Poland (in Austria it is addressed to every citizen, in Poland only to the people).
