While great strides have been made by the National Council on Disability (NCD) and others to advance the notion of livable communities for all, there are still gaps in the knowledge about what exactly is needed to transform our communities. Affordable, accessible, and appropriate housing is a critical and integral part of making any community more livable for people with disabilities. This report looks at the state of housing for people with disabilities with the intent to provide recommendations that can improve housing opportunities. The research contained in this report provides a comprehensive overview of the state of housing in the 21st century and answers to seven important questions about the current housing needs and options for people with disabilities living in the United States.

The central role of the housing market in the recent recession raised a series of questions about similar episodes throughout economic history. Were the underlying causes of housing and mortgage crises the same in earlier episodes? Has the onset and spread of crises changed over time? How have previous policy interventions either damaged or improved long-run market performance and stability? This volume begins to answer these questions, providing a much-needed context for understanding recent events by examining how historical housing and mortgage markets worked—and how they sometimes failed. Renowned economic historians Eugene N. White, Kenneth Snowden, and Price Fishback survey the foundational research on housing crises, comparing that of the 1930s to that of the early 2000s in order to authoritatively identify what contributed to each crisis. Later chapters explore notable historical experiences with mortgage securitization and the role that federal policy played in the surge in home ownership between 1940 and 1960. By providing a broad historical overview of housing and mortgage markets, the volume offers valuable new insights to inform future policy debates.

Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.

America's problems are solvable. This book explains how we can eliminate homelessness, hunger and poverty while making health insurance affordable for everyone. It shows how we can do this in ways that conservatives, liberals, self-interest groups and the vast majority of Americans can accept. This can be done without constantly raising taxes or demonizing anyone. The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores some of the forces that are causing America's problems and why we have not been able to solve them. The second part explores our problems with healthcare, income, welfare, government spending, education and housing. The third part presents a set of solutions to mitigate these problems. It demonstrates that a set of solutions, which support each other, can be more feasible in mitigating related problems than focusing only on one problem at a time. Although counterintuitive, mitigating multiple related problems at the same time is actually easier and potentially more feasible. Establishing that the concepts and solutions presented are credible enough to warrant intensive investigation, refinement, and eventual implementation is the primary goal of this book. The set of solutions presented is only meant to be a starting point for discussions, refinements, and research. A very large amount of work, compromises with affected groups, public discussions, and political support will be needed before a version of these solutions can be implemented. Discover how we can make America a better place for all Americans.
