However, the problem still remains. This article tries to analyze housing policies in Iran. In this way have been studying the position of housing for urban low-income groups and experiences in housing planning in Iran. This is a development research. Also, several methods have been applied in the research process. First, the documentary method has been used to explain housing policies, so the descriptive-analytical method has been used to explain the role of relevant policies and programs in problem-solving. Finally, the SWOT analysis model has been used for Information analysis as well as strategies. The results show several activities on housing for urban low-income groups have been done in the development program. However, housing policies and programs don’t have an organizational relationship with development Programs. In other words non-participatory, non-targeted, and inefficient traditional top-down approaches to planning cause to marginalization many of people. Therefore it is necessary to review the institutional framework for providing access to housing and land for low-income groups and regionalizing support programs.
