Abstract: This paper extends the earlier analysis of Tucker [1987] and Quigley [1990] regarding the relationship between a city's homeless rate and the existence of rent controls. Performing WLS estimation on the logit of the homeless rate, this paper concludes that rent controls have the effect of lowering, not increasing, the homeless rate.
