The maximum eligible income is set just above the average wage in Ireland for single-income households and at 80% of the average wage in the United States and in New South Wales, Australia. Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal and England can also be considered relatively targeted systems even though the size of the social rental sector is still relatively large in France and England (sources: QuASH, Scanlon et al, 2014, http://www.housingpathways.nsw.gov.au/). Shortfalls in supply of social rental housing in many countries mean that not all eligible households actually access the services and waiting lists are maintained.
