Low- and moderate-income Americans rely on affordable housing. It is clear that
affordable rental housing is needed, but much of what is getting built, especially in the
high-growth West and South, gives rise to negative externalities based on the large
number of units in the projects. This report looks at objections to large apartment
complexes and makes the case for smaller-scale multifamily developments, studies how
housing policy in the US has disadvantaged multifamily development, and investigates
barriers to small-scale developments relating to mortgage markets, the Low Income
Housing Tax Credit, and the models of nonprofit affordable housing providers. / text
