In the context of the inegalitarian distribution of income and political power in many developing countries, prudent planning of basic shelter provision requires a careful targeting of housing strategies for the poor. To support such targeting, the paper presents a housing affordability model that analyzes the dynamic relationships among income and income distribution, changes in family size, urbanization, housing, consumption, and cost of and access to credit. The resultant estimates of affordable housing by the poor shifts the polity focus to the appropriate means of supply. The model application in Nigeria highlights the importance of geographic aspects of effective targeting
