Regional Housing Opportunities for Lower Income Households: A Resource Guide toAffordable Housing and Regional Mobility Strategies

摘要

The purpose of this report is to discuss programs that promote regional housingopportunities for those least able to afford such housing. The object of the format of this report is to group regional mobility and housing rather than affordability programs along common substantive lines, along temporal or geographic lines. Another purpose of this report is to standardize the descriptors for each category or programs so they can be compared to each other, and to create a more structured and detailed description of the programs themselves. The report also discusses the potential for influencing metropolitanwide housing choice that each of these programmatic groupings represents. This is done by considering who is affected by regional mobility and affordable housing programs, as well as how difficult these program are to implement.
