Housing is a bit different because it's so supply-constrained, so I do think that building social housing would have a huge positive impact. Other supply-constrained goods and services may be similar, but I don't think many are as obvious as housing. Maybe doctors?

Various demand-side subsidies seem roughly as likely to raise prices, whether that's giving money to consumers or buying the goods on their behalf.
