UNHP presented research from the report Shrinking Affordability on a number of housing and demographic indicators, and discussed effective tools to help improve the quality of the housing stock and retaining some level of affordability on a large scale. Panelists at the forum representing the private, public, and nonprofit sectors responded to this timely and pertinent presentation.
