The State of the Nation's Housing

June 2008
The State of the Nation’s Housing report has been released annually by Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies since 1988. Now in its 20th year, it continues to serve as an essential resource for both public policy makers and private decision makers in the housing industry. This year’s report provides a current assessment of the changing housing market; housing’s role in the economy; housing affordability challenges; and the demographic trends driving long-run housing demand.
