The relevance of the issue lies in the fact that for the formation of the rules of law of the branch in the future, it is necessary to understand for what purposes and to solve what tasks of the state this branch should serve, so it is necessary to develop various hypotheses of the development of housing law and its principles, and accordingly test them: to prove or disprove. The author, in the work proposes actual now and in the future goals and objectives of the state and puts forward a hypothesis about the transformation of housing law into an infrastructural law, where these goals will be realized, proving and arguing his point of view.
