Basic income for artists is a policy in which governments provide all artists with a regular, unconditional sum of money to ensure a basic standard of living, regardless of income or employment status. 

Fellowships and grants are programs in which governments or organizations provide artists with financial support, often for a specific project or period of time, based on merit or need. These funds are typically awarded through a competitive application process.

The "Vienna Model" of social housing requires developers that build new residential complexes to lease 25% of units at significantly reduced rates to tenants chosen by the municipal government.
