Journal of Real Estate Literature, 2012, vol. 20, issue 1, 3-35

Abstract: Research conducted in North America over the last three decades is summarized in this article to explore the multidimensional nature of housing affordability and the negative social consequences that can result from failing to ensure appropriate housing options are available for low and moderate income families. Social implications of neighborhood quality, homeownership, public housing, housing quality, and homelessness are all considered within the context of public education, community health, and criminal activity. The literature review is intended to inform policymakers involved in affordable housing programs, as well as to encourage real estate developers to consider innovative ways to increase the supply of affordable rental and owner-occupied housing in ways that are both profitable and socially responsible.
