Abstract: This thematic issue explores the dimensions of the housing affordability crisis from diverse perspectives. The six articles that comprise this issue differ in terms of their geographic context, challenges associated with housing unaffordability, range of research methods used, and solutions recommended to address the problems. The authors present findings from analyses of quantitative and qualitative data, discuss how to address the housing affordability crisis in a context-sensitive way, and provide policy implications. Taken together, the articles reveal the dimensions of the housing affordability crisis and the challenges of addressing this crisis in five Western countries. This editorial provides an introduction to the articles included in this thematic issue and concludes with a call for future research by scholars and professionals into the challenges presented by the housing affordability crisis.
