You can access housing through several different methods.
If you go into an FC you can either decorate the FC house (if that's allowed to you) or an FC room.
If your server isn't crowded, you can get an Apartment.
You can be a tenant in up to 3 persons' houses.

The housing experience doesn't simply involve owning a plot either, you can literally access other peoples' houses, make use of scenarios, engage in venues and see their work.

At no point does "This game features housing" imply you will be guaranteed a house on the spot whenever you demand it. There's more to housing too.
