What Can HUD Do to Expand Public and Community Ownership of Rental Housing? (PRRAC, April 2021)

April 5, 2021 by

A PRRAC Policy Brief (April 2021).

Excerpt: “The movement to shift more of our housing resources out of the private for-profit market and into the social housing sector has gained momentum in recent years, with growing housing insecurity, unsustainable rent burdens, expanding homelessness, and gentrification pressures in many American cities. The benefits of expanding the social housing sector include built-in limits on profit-motivated rent increases and eviction, long-term affordability, protection from predatory speculation in disinvested communities,2 and more democratic control over housing resources. As the Right to the City Alliance succinctly framed the issue, this vision is “rooted in the belief that housing is a human right, not a commodity to maximize profits.”

PRRAC – Poverty & Race Research Action Council

The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) is a civil rights law and policy organization based in Washington, D.C.
