Affordable housing has been around long before the programs of recent history, dating to the 19th century. To adequately provide for it requires a varied approach to serving all income levels, from the most impoverished to moderate-income families. This means both supply and demand side programs paired together, with voucher programs across the board and low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) projects supplementing the need. According to author Alan Mallach of A Decent Home, housing vouchers or their equivalent should be a universal right for those who need it. The affordable housing crisis and homelessness will not be solved until the government does this. In this episode, we discuss these topics in-depth and go into what changes he would make to the book, which was published over 12 years ago but remains an important topic today.
