This project was a literature review of the impact of worsening market housing affordability on the demand for affordable housing, private renting, new household formation, and regional variations in these impacts.
This project was a review of the literature and research on the impact of worsening market housing affordability on the demand for affordable housing, private renting, new household formation, and regional variations in these impacts. The aim of the project was to produce a systematic review of the evidence by following the ‘rapid evidence assessment’ method. This was based on ‘readily available’ evidence identified by keyword searching of electronic databases and websites. The aim was not to be comprehensive, but to cover the majority of evidence, including major official reports and data sources.

The National Housing and Planning Advice Unit (NHPAU) Board commissioned the Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research to undertake a rapid evidence assessment of the effects of worsening market housing affordability on the demand for affordable housing, with particular emphasis on social housing as part of its research programme.
