MacArthur Foundation by the Center for Housing Policy, the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, and the National Low Income Housing Coalition.Findings from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s report on “worst-case needs” households are also discussed.
Taken together, the reports point to a growing demand for affordable rental homes, a shrinking and at-risk affordable rental stock, and an increase in the number of renters that have difficulty affording their monthly housing costs.
