shelter poverty  

Definition

  • Over the past half century, extensive empirical and theoretical research on housing affordability issues has been going on throughout the developed world. In the United States, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, considerable work was done demonstrating the logical flaws in the ratio—or percentage-of-income—approach, followed by conceptualization, operationalization, and application of the residual income alternative to housing affordability.
