In October 2015, Mayor Garcetti released Executive Directive 13, Support for Affordable Housing (ED 13). ED 13 is a “Back to Basics” operational directive that helps streamline the development of critical new housing developments that address our housing shortage. This dataset tracks the City's progress towards the goals outlined in the directive: (1) Permitting 100,000 new units from the start of Mayor Garcetti's administration through the end of fiscal year 2021, and (2) Building or preserving 15,000 affordable housing units for low-income households in this same time period.

In 2018, Egypt had the highest shortage of affordable housing in the Middle East and North Africa region at approximately *** million, followed by Iraq at approximately *** million.

Government-assisted affordable housing — also known as low-income subsidized housing — has been around since the New Deal. It includes “public housing” created directly by government, as well as a wide array of programs in which private entities utilize government subsidies. No official roster exists that lists all of these projects over time in Charlotte. Hanchett created this master list by combing government records, newspaper stories, and other sources including reports of the Charlotte Housing Authority (now known as Inlivian), the non-profit Charlotte Mecklenburg Housing Partnership (now known as DreamKey Partners), and city government's Charlotte Housing Trust Fund. On-line listings by Novogradac, a national consultant on Low-Income Housing Tax Credit financing, were particularly useful for LIHTC projects 1986 - present. This table will likely surprise most readers. It lists some 180 projects constructed over the course of 80 years. About 150 remain in use today. Many are so well designed that neighbors are not aware of them as subsidized housing. Understanding the range of funding sources and housing strategies that have been implemented can help us as we consider how to face shortages of affordable housing in our city and nation today.

Portugal, Canada, and the United States were the countries with the highest house price to income ratio in 2024. In all three countries, the index exceeded 130 index points, while the average for all OECD countries stood at 116.2 index points. The index measures the development of housing affordability and is calculated by dividing nominal house price by nominal disposable income per head, with 2015 set as a base year when the index amounted to 100. An index value of 120, for example, would mean that house price growth has outpaced income growth by 20 percent since 2015. How have house prices worldwide changed since the COVID-19 pandemic? House prices started to rise gradually after the global financial crisis (2007–2008), but this trend accelerated with the pandemic. The countries with advanced economies, which usually have mature housing markets, experienced stronger growth than countries with emerging economies. Real house price growth (accounting for inflation) peaked in 2022 and has since lost some of the gain. Although, many countries experienced a decline in house prices, the global house price index shows that property prices in 2023 were still substantially higher than before COVID-19. Renting vs. buying In the past, house prices have grown faster than rents. However, the home affordability has been declining notably, with a direct impact on rental prices. As people struggle to buy a property of their own, they often turn to rental accommodation. This has resulted in a growing demand for rental apartments and soaring rental prices.

In 2019, Saudi Arabia was expected to have the highest housing demand by 2022 in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), at nearly ************ residential units. The United Arab Emirates followed with just under *********** units by 2022. Housing situation in the GCC Increasing population growth and rapid urbanization put tremendous pressure on GCC’s housing supply, which had already been witnessing a shortage in affordable housing. Following a 2020 slump amid the COVID-19 pandemic, residential rents and housing prices in the region would likely pick up, in line with anticipated increasing housing demand in 2022. The existing demand-supply gap in the housing sector indicates a room for improvement and further action in form of housing policies and subsidies. The construction industry In 2019, the GCC construction industry was valued at approximately 140 billion U.S. dollars, with the largest share attributable to the buildings sector. Prior to the pandemic, the Gulf Cooperation Council was undergoing large-scale residential and commercial construction projects, such as the Dubai Expo 2020 and the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Despite the one-year delay and numerous pandemic-related hardships, the 2020 Expo in Dubai is expected to leave a positive and long-lasting imprint on the construction industry.

Long-term trends have made Australian housing more susceptible to current demand shocks, worsening the housing crisis.

In 2024, there were approximately **** million housing units occupied by renters in the United States. This number has been gradually increasing since 2010 as part of a long-term upward swing since 1975. Meanwhile, the number of unoccupied rental housing units has followed a downward trend, suggesting a growing demand and supply failing to catch up. Why are rental homes in such high demand? This high demand for rental homes is related to the shortage of affordable housing. Climbing the property ladder for renters is not always easy, as it requires prospective homebuyers to save up for a down payment and qualify for a mortgage. In many metros, the median household income is insufficient to qualify for the median-priced home. How many owner occupied homes are there in the U.S.? In 2023, there were over ** million owner occupied homes. Owner occupied housing is when the person who owns a property – either outright or through a mortgage – also resides in the property. Excluded are therefore rental properties, employer-provided housing and social housing.

Replication material for Jackelyn Hwang & Bina Patel Shrimali (2022) Shared and Crowded Housing in the Bay Area: Where Gentrification and the Housing Crisis Meet COVID-19, Housing Policy Debate, DOI: 10.1080/10511482.2022.2099934 Paper Abstract: Amid the growing affordable housing crisis and widespread gentrification over the last decade, people have been moving less than before and increasingly live in shared and often crowded households across the U.S. Crowded housing has various negative health implications, including stress, sleep disorders, and infectious diseases. Difference-in- difference analysis of a unique, large-scale longitudinal consumer credit database of over 450,000 San Francisco Bay Area residents from 2002 to 2020 shows gentrification affects the probability of residents shifting to crowded households across the socioeconomic spectrum but in different ways than expected. Gentrification is negatively associated with low- socioeconomic status (SES) residents’ probability of entering crowded households, and this is largely explained by increased shifts to crowded households in neighborhoods outside of major cities showing early signs of gentrification. Conversely, gentrification is associated with increases in the probability that middle-SES residents enter crowded households, primarily in Silicon Valley. Lastly, crowding is positively associated with COVID-19 case rates, beyond density and socioeconomic and racial composition in neighborhoods, although the role of gentrification remains unclear. Housing policies that mitigate crowding can serve as early interventions in displacement prevention and reducing health inequities.

Europe Residential Construction Market size was valued at USD 1.08 Trillion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.64 Trillion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2026 to 2032.

Europe Residential Construction Market Drivers

Rising Demographic Shifts and Urbanization Trends: The continuous migration to urban centers across Europe is increasing the housing demands, particularly in major metropolitan areas. According to Eurostat's 2023 data, 75% of the EU population now resides in urban areas, marking a 2.3% increase from the previous year. This urbanization trend has created substantial pressure on residential construction, especially in cities like Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam, where housing shortages have become increasingly acute.

Growing Sustainable Building Requirements: European nations are witnessing a fundamental shift toward sustainable and energy-efficient housing construction. The European Commission reported in November 2023 that 42% of new residential building permits across the EU now incorporate renewable energy systems. This transformation is driven by stringent environmental regulations, including the EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, which mandates nearly zero-energy buildings for all new construction.

Escalating Government Housing Initiatives: The European government has intensified its commitment to addressing housing shortages through various support programs and incentives. The German Federal Statistical Office revealed in January 2024 that government spending on residential construction subsidies reached €18.2 billion, representing a 15% increase year-over-year. These initiatives have particularly focused on affordable housing development and first-time homebuyer assistance programs.

The German manufactured homes market, valued at approximately €8 billion in 2025, is experiencing robust growth, projected to maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 4% through 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key drivers. Firstly, increasing urbanization and housing shortages in major cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Frankfurt are creating significant demand for affordable and quickly deployable housing solutions. Manufactured homes, with their shorter construction times and potentially lower costs compared to traditional homes, effectively address this need. Secondly, growing environmental concerns and a push for sustainable construction practices are boosting the appeal of manufactured homes built with energy-efficient materials and designs. Finally, evolving consumer preferences are favoring modern, customizable manufactured homes that offer comparable quality and aesthetics to site-built homes. While challenges exist, such as regulatory hurdles and public perception, the overall market outlook remains positive. The market segmentation reveals strong demand across both single-family and multi-family units. Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Frankfurt are leading the market, driven by their high population densities and significant housing deficits. Key players like Baufritz, Fertighaus Weiss GmbH, Portakabin, Hanse Haus, ALHO Modular Buildings, DFH Group, Swietelsky AG, Daiwa House Modular Europe, HusCompagniet A/S, and Karmod are actively competing in this dynamic market, further contributing to its growth trajectory.
