As housing affordability challenges climb the income scale, state and local governments have adopted policies and programs to explicitly address the needs of middle-income #renters. A new paper examines what these programs are intended to do, what the potential benefits are, whom they serve, and the policy tradeoffs that might occur if state and local governments prioritize middle-income affordability challenges. https://lnkd.in/eRF-h8MP

As a big fan of the program, was super excited to talk with Dan Ackerman from Marketplace yesterday about The State of the Nation’s Housing 2024 https://lnkd.in/d-c4ZhcU

And you wonder why the sales market is grinding to a halt... The general consensus is that prices will start to ease, but that was the general consensus last summer too.
