Rental Market Dynamics: Is Affordable Housing for the Poor an Endangered Species?, a new study commissioned by HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), by authors Gregory Watson and Frederick Eggers, analyzes rental market data between 1995 and 1999 to examine the substantial movement of housing into and out of the rental stock. The study focuses on six metropolitan areas: Chicago,Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and Northern New Jersey. The authors track the sources of new rental housing, the reasons for loss of rental housing, and changes in affordability of the existing rental housing stock.
