As aging society progresses, it is necessary to establish a housing standard that provides a healthy, safe, and convenient environment for the aded. Housing rights is main fundamental rights to existence, comfortable environmental rights and cultural fundamental rights. Especially adequate housing for the aged is essential to live comfortably. But government housing law and policy does not meet the housing demand of all the aged but provide a particular old people with the particular housing. The advanced countries have been diversifying the types of housing by considering the diversity of needs of the aged hierarchy. So legislators and Policy makers should learn from other countries` housing programs such as repair and modification of the elderly`s housing, provision of various types of elderly housing.

Such as regulations, including the establishment of the senior housing assistance plan, the minimum safety standards of housing for the aged.
