How Will Affordable Rental Housing Be Preserved?


Abstract: Affordable rental housing for low- and moderate-income individuals and families is increasingly scarce.

This article focuses on challenges in rental housing preservation and discusses the programs and perspectives of the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA), the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA), and the Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA).
