Abstract

The provision of affordable housing for the low and middle-income class may enhance the quality of life of this social group. In addition, cooperation from stakeholders must be greater in promoting affordable houses in the market. However, the low-profit margin and other constraints reduced the supply of affordable homes by housing developers. Therefore, this research examines the factors and attributes that may affect housing developers in supplying affordable houses. Total 120 responses from housing developers were gathered via questionnaires and analysed by using Partial Least Square Modelling (PLS-SEM) for the development of an affordable housing supply model. The result displays three factors with 11 attributes that affect housing suppliers.
