incentives take the form of the subsidy $s \geq 0$ proportional to the amount contributed.

shift vertically downwards by the amount of subsidy given. The shift means more is supplied at every price. As seen from the graph below, if a subsidy by the amount (W-Z) is granted to housing firms, the supply curve shifts vertically downwards from S to Safter subsidy, reaching a new equilibrium point.
