contents House allocation refers to the problem where $m$ houses are to be allocated to $n$ agents so that each agent receives one house. Since an envy-free house allocation does not always exist, we consider finding such an allocation in the presence of subsidy. We show that computing an envy-free allocation with minimum subsidy is NP-hard in general, but can be done efficiently if $m$ differs from $n$ by an additive constant or if the agents have identical utilities.
