Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies Releases 2015 State of the Nation’s Housing

On Wednesday, June 24, Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies released the 2015 State of the Nation’s Housing. Released annually, this report “provides a periodic assessment of the nation’s housing outlook and summarizes important trends in the economic and demographics of housing.”

Of interest to the Housing Credit community is the record number of renter households considered cost-burdened. In 2013, 20.8 million renter households, just under half of all renter households, were considered rent burdened. Further extremely low-income households (those earning up to 30 percent of area median income) faced fewer housing choices. In 2013, 11.2 million extremely low-income renters competed for only 7.3 million units leaving a shortfall of 3.9 million units. (Page 32)

The report also discusses the increasing demands for both rental housing construction and preservation noting “The LIHTC program is a critical source of investment capital that will be necessary to keep the units affordable. These competing demands – for new construction as well as preservation – have put the tax credit program under extreme pressure and raised the question of whether it ought to be expanded.” (Page 34)

A link to the full report is included below.
