Abstract
AbstractThe 1990s and beyond is going to be an era of extremely important and complex decisions concerning adequate shelter for a changing population. To meet the challenges of the times, a clear understanding of private housing markets is needed. This paper begins by presenting a discussion of a theoretical framework on which to anchor private housing market research. Seven current issues that affect private markets are then reviewed. The private market issues discussed are affordability homelessness, discrimination, rural housing, home automation, housing for special needs groups, and factory built construction. Finally, specific concepts are identified on which to build a research agenda in the attempt to develop a knowledge pool from which governmental and private decisions can be made concerning strategies for action.
