Housing Policy in the United States

The fourth edition of Housing Policy in the United States refreshes its classic, foundational coverage of the field with new data, analysis, and comparative focus.

This landmark volume offers a broad overview that synthesizes a wide range of material to highlight the significant problems, concepts, programs and debates in US　housing policy. Expanded discussion in this edition centers on state and local activity to produce and preserve affordable housing, the impact　of the tax law of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on tax incentives for homeownership, a comparison of US housing programs and policies with those of several other advanced western countries, and a　review of the state of fair housing programs in the wake of the Trump Administration's rollback of several key programs and policies.

Featuring the latest available data on housing patterns and conditions, this is an excellent companion for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in urban studies, urban planning, sociology, public　policy, and housing policy.
