| Abstract | "Affordable Housing in the United States addresses the issue of affordability, or lack thereof, in housing, going beyond conventions to consider fundamental questions like: 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? What steps can be taken to ensure all people have access to affordable housing? 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"-- Provided by publisher. |
