Questions 39 - 43 refer to the following information and article.

Mission

The Center for Housing Policy is the research affiliate of the National Housing

Conference. The Center works to broaden understanding of America’s affordable

housing challenges and examines the impact of policies and programs developed to

address these needs.

Combining research and practical, real-world expertise, the Center lays the

groundwork for the development of concrete and politically viable policies and

programs that can be used to promote affordable housing across the country.

Nationally recognized housing experts, including academics, advocates and

practitioners as well as distinguished specialists from other fields, are involved in the

Center’s work. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that our research engages an

ever widening circle of stakeholders both inside and outside the housing community.

Fewer Families Can Afford a Home

Nearly 70% of Americans own their homes, a record high, but the rate of

homeownership for working families with children is lower than in 1978, according to

a study being released Wednesday by the Center for Housing Policy.

The surprising trend is being driven by a combination of factors: soaring housing costs

that have overshot wage increases, higher health care bills and a rise in the number of

single parents.

Minority working families have struggled the most. Their homeownership rate has

stagnated at 45%, far below white families (82%) as of 2003, the last year for which

figures are available.

The effects are being felt in communities where teachers, police and firefighters can’t

afford to live in the communities where they work, if though they want to own homes.

Some see long-term consequences if the trend doesn’t change.
