Affordable Housing in the United States addresses the issue of affordability, or lack thereof, in housing, to consider questions like: What makes housing affordable and for whom? What are the consequences of a lack of affordable housing? How is affordable housing created? What are some steps to ensure access to affordable housing?



Affordable Housing in the United States addresses the issue of affordability, or lack thereof, in housing, going beyond conventional policy discussions to consider fundamental questions such as: What makes housing affordable and for whom is it affordable? What are the consequences of a lack of affordable housing? How is affordable housing created? And what steps can be taken to ensure all people have access to affordable housing?

With the understanding that different households face different challenges, the book begins by breaking down the variables relevant to the study of affordable housing, including housing costs, household income, geographic location, and market forces, to help readers understand and quantify affordability at the individual and societal level. Part II examines the consequences of unaffordable housing, highlighting racial inequities in housing access and affordability, and multiple forms of housing precarity including eviction and homelessness. Part III explores the entities involved in providing affordable housing such as local and federal governments, regulatory agencies, non-profit organizations, and for-profit developers. In Part IV, case studies from US cities demonstrate the complex web of organizations, policies, and market conditions that influence housing affordability, revealing substantial regional variations in access and policy response. Part V proposes a future roadmap and outlines four potential states with radically different outcomes for the affordable housing system in the United States.

An ideal book for graduate and undergraduate courses in real estate finance and development, urban planning, economics, sociology, and public policy, this title will also be of value to professionals and policymakers working to improve housing affordability and access.

Recenzijos

"Recent economic upheavals, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have focused attention on the millions of households across the United States that face housing instability and the racially uneven impacts of securing and paying for housing. Affordable Housing in the United States offers a timely contribution to understand the structural drivers of housing unaffordability and the various policies and regulations that can incentivize or impede affordable housing delivery...The book provides a comprehensive overview of the affordable housing landscape and an expert synthesis of recent housing research [ and] is a meaningful contribution to the field of housing studies and an invaluable read for students, policymakers, and housing advocates alike."

Jenna Davis, University of California, Berkeley, review for the Journal of the American Planning Association
