Where Is the Housing Shortage? Reply to Respondents
In our article, we argue that few metropolitan markets suffer from a housing shortage. We use decennial census data to look at the growth of the housing stock from 2000 to 2010 and onward to 2020 i
Where Is the Housing Shortage
This article examines the extent to which the US as a whole and its metropolitan areas face a housing shortage by comparing change in total housing units and total households from 2000 to 2020. Although various studies indicate that the nation has a shortage of anywhere from 2 million to 4 million units, Census data show little evidence of a shortage. Household formation did exceed the growth of households from 2010 to 2020, but that does not tak…

Housing in the United States
The Geography of Absence
The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is the largest affordable housing production program in the United States. The program has been the subject of some criticism because it has done an unimpressive job of placing low-income renter households in high-opportunity neighborhoods, especially in suburban jurisdictions. This research examines, at the municipal level, what kinds of communities do not contain LIHTC properties. Communities with no LI…
Neighbourhood opportunity, racial segregation, and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program in the United States
Housing policy for low-income renters seeks to deconcentrate poverty by moving the poor to neighborhoods offering opportunities for safety, good education, and gainful employment. Federal law compels communities to take affirmative steps to promote racial and ethnic integration. We argue that it is not possible for a community to effectively deconcentrate poverty unless it actively engages in racial and ethnic integration. This research evaluates…

Section 8/Housing Choice Voucher
The federal government of the USA uses the Section 8 and Housing Choice Voucher programs to help poor renter households consume good quality, affordable housing. The Section 8 program contained both a production component and a voucher component. The production component has about 785,000 units in a rapidly shrinking portfolio. The Housing Choice Voucher program serves about 2.4 million households. Both programs help households whose income is ve…

Deconcentrating Poverty Through Homebuyer Finance Programs
The federal government attempts to reduce the spatial concentration of the poor through the implementation of its many housing initiatives, guiding recipients toward economically integrated neighborhoods. Merging HMDA, GSE, and Census 2000 data, this analysis assesses the extent to which the government’s homebuyer finance programs have accomplished the deconcentration of the poor. The research finds that the expected benefits of various forms of …
Deciphering the Need in Housing Markets
Planners need straightforward tools to guide them toward the selection of appropriate strategies for resolving problems of housing affordability in their communities. Planners should use these tools to update their consolidated plans periodically, assessing the fit between the community's housing market conditions and the intervention strategies selected. Research suggests that planners often fail to select strategies that fit the conditions in t…

Mortgage Credit Certificates as an Aid to Affordable Housing
The Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program has been used as a means to provide assistance to low and moderate income households in their efforts to purchase their first home. This program was designed to be an alternative to the frequently used Mortgage Revenue Bond (MRB) program. Examination of recent use of MCCs finds that the program is administratively easier to operate than the MRB program and is less costly to the federal government. How…
Changing Consumption in the Rental Housing Market with Changes in Household Composition
Rental housing has become the permanent form of tenure for households not having the income to enter into home ownership. Those renter households are predominantly composed of single parents, single persons and unrelated persons living together . Husband-wife households are becoming a minority in rental housing. Tract-level data are analyzed to examine the rental housing occupied by these households not formed around a married couple. The results…
Implementation of Linkage Programs
The study of real estate development has become an integral part of planning education as planners draw upon the techniques of real estate investment analysis to control land use. The application of these techniques has been expanded by linking new commercial development to noncommercial development that serves public goals. Fees charged against new commercial development are used to fund social programs, such as the production of low income hous…
