Abstract

The selected case studies demonstrate a breadth of approaches that address both supply and demand challenges for housing in its entirety, as well as affordable housing more specifically. They draw on a range of mechanisms, such as regulatory mandates, deregulation and regulatory streamlining, land use and financial incentives, tenant support and protections, and intergovernmental collaboration.
