Increased Homelessness and Low Rent Housing Vacancy Rates
Description:
This article highlights the relationship between rates of homelessness and the housing market. Evidence suggests that housing market conditions influence higher rates of homelessness. The study uses 'time series' and 'cross-sectional' American housing survey data to demonstrate this relationship. The findings of this study are consistent with O'Flaherty's economic model of homelessness and contrary to Jenks's American Housing Survey.
