THE STATE OF AMERICA'S RENTAL HOUSING

Location: L-324, Fainsod Room | Harvard Kennedy School 79 JFK Street, Cambridge

Jonathan Spader, Senior Research Associate, Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies

A decade of unprecedented growth in the rental housing market may be coming to an end, according to our 2017 America’s Rental Housing report. Fewer new renter households are being formed, rental vacancy rates have risen, and rent increases have slowed. At the same time, renter demographics are changing and nearly 21 million households continue to pay more than 30 percent of their income for rent.

This talk is part of the Center’s ongoing Housing Research Seminar Series, which gives faculty, senior researchers, and graduate students the opportunity to present and discuss current and recent work with a mix of scholars and practitioners.

Bring your lunch. Dessert & coffee provided.

This event will also be livestreamed on Twitter.
