Different conceptions of property law affect national welfare and altruism procedures. In the 19th century, altruistic devices in English property law were used to support welfare, but abolished in France, while French collective social action was born in opposition to property. These early histories are reflected in current social housing allocation policies- UK houses more disadvantaged people than France, while French public law retains broad social concerns. But these are different routes to the same objective. In a process of Europeanization, misunderstanding of apparently opposing principles damages existing welfare institutions in both countries and results in under-provision for housing need.
