Evaluating Supply Impacts
Abundant housing is an essential component of affordable housing markets, but the impacts of increasing supply may vary according to the type and location of new housing, characteristics of the existing stock, neighborhood demographics, household tenure and financial characteristics, state and local tenant protections, and much more. With these nuances in mind, we study the complex relationships between housing supply and affordability. Our research also illuminates the role of housing in household stability and homelessness, residential and physical mobility, access to opportunity, public health, and other individual and community outcomes.
