Community Housing Services Global Market Report 2026

Community housing refers to social housing provided by not-for-profit community organizations, often with the assistance of government grants, to support the homeless and those in need. Community housing is typically owned or legally controlled by these organizations, which are generally, though not always, not-for-profit entities.

The main service types within community housing services include temporary and emergency shelter services, permanent housing support services, transitional and assisted housing services, volunteer construction or repair services, and others. Permanent housing support services aim to combine low-cost housing with best-practice services for individuals and families with disabilities and a history of homelessness. The different types of products offered include single-section homes and multi-section homes. The various end users of these services include victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or child abuse, homeless and runaway youths, parents and families facing medical crises, low-income individuals and families, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

Tariffs are influencing the community housing services market by increasing costs of imported construction materials, modular housing components, fixtures, and building equipment used in affordable housing projects. Housing providers in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported materials, while developing regions face higher project costs and delays. These tariffs are increasing capital requirements and slowing housing delivery timelines. However, they are also supporting domestic construction industries, encouraging local material sourcing, and boosting investment in regionally manufactured housing solutions.
