摘要：The need to provide adequate and equitable housing has remained a major priority of every government. The Population and Housing census indicates that Ghana is facing an acute housing problem with housing deficit of over 1.5 million units in 2000 and over 2 million in 2010. The increasing housing delivery deficit is due to the high population growth rate, urbanization and less supply of housing units to meet the growing demand for housing. This study therefore seek to survey literature on housingdelivery in Ghana and determine the extent to which government policy interventions have been successful in providing housing for Ghanaians. The study is an exploratory study based on secondary data. This paper notes that several initiatives and concertedefforts have been made by successiv e governments in Ghana, before and after independence to solve the housing delivery deficit but these interventions have failed to make a dent in Ghana's growing housing crisis.
