Housing crisis revealed by 1985 affordability study
A Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and Low Income Housing Information Service report titled A Place to Call Home shows 45 percent of poor renters and 31 percent of low income homeowners spent 70 percent or more of income on housing in 1985. Based on American Housing Survey data, the study notes declines in affordable units, rising poverty, and looming expirations of Section 8 contracts. The Bush administration’s proposed housing spending is criticized as insufficient.
