state houses

Governors' official workplaces

State houses are residences provided by a government for citizens, typically as affordable rental housing.

The term is most common in New Zealand and Australia, where state housing programs developed in the mid-twentieth century to address housing shortages.

In the United States, a statehouse (one word) is the building where a state legislature meets.
