What is the minimum level of completion for socialized housing?

The minimum level of completion for socialized housing is represented by a shell house with doors and windows. This means that while the housing unit is not fully finished, it provides the essential structural elements necessary for occupancy. A shell house typically includes the outer walls, basic roofing, and essential openings like doors and windows, allowing for a transition toward further interior completion by the homeowner. This level of completion ensures that the dwelling meets basic safety and security standards while providing a framework for the new owners to customize the interior according to their needs and preferences.

In the context of socialized housing, this approach helps keep costs manageable and addresses the needs of lower-income individuals or families by providing a base structure that they can build upon over time. Other options fail to meet the criteria for minimum completion; for example, fully furnished implies a level of completion that exceeds what is necessary, and a complete structure suggests everything is in place, including interior finishing, which is not the case for socialized housing. An under-construction status does not provide the critical elements necessary for immediate habitation.
