Planning to Meet Local Housing Needs:

The Role of HUD's Consolidated Planning Requirements in the 1990s

This study reviews how large central cities and suburban jurisdictions in six metropolitan areas with very diverse housing markets undertook housing needs analysis and priority and strategy development for housing plans during the 1990s. It then examines what actual housing implementation occurred during that time period and how the needs for affordable housing changed. Appendices include site-by-site data tabulations.
