The research will analyse and evaluate two affordable housing provision systems in two different countries; Iraq and Jordan. The research consists of four parts. In the first part, the research starts by briefly giving a background about the general factors that lead to the emersion of the affordable housing needs in most developing countries with short justification for the choice of two countries Iraq and Jordan. In the second part, the research will look at the different philosophies and governmental views regarding the affordable housing issues, and the level to which both governments consider themselves involved/concerned in providing housing for the low-income according to the laws. The third part of the research will be looking at the different conditions of the low-income and how were they defined according to the legal system of both countries regarding housing provision. The research will then continue in the fourth part by explaining the governmental mechanisms, delivery and support programmes associated with housing provision for the low-income in each of the two countries. Taking into consideration the advantages and disadvantages of these mechanisms and indicating the differences between mechanisms used in both countries. Finally, and based on the main findings in the first two parts, the research will end up pointing to the most important key points in the conclusion.
