Summary The Intermediate Affordable Housing Completions present information on the amount of total completions of additional Intermediate Affordable Housing units provided by each Local Authority in England annually since 1991. Technical description The Intermediate Affordable Housing Completions is an estimate, calculated by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, of the total amount of affordable housing units that are added each year per Local Authority (LA). Intermediate affordable housing is the sum of intermediate rent (including London Living Rent), affordable home ownership and shared ownership. The information is presented either as starts-on-site or completions; for this indicator, only completions were considered. Completions here includes homes where the cost is met by a private developer. In some years, some figures could not be broken down below national level, so the sum of the local authority figures may not equal the total for England figure. Values are presented on the basis of financial years, i.e. from April 1st to March 31st. Intermediate Affordable Housing figures were calculated for both Lower Tier Local Authorities (HS_14_05L) and Upper Tier Local Authorities (HS_14_05U). Figures from historic LA geography have been referenced to the 2018 LA geography. This includes changes in name/codes, merges, or splits of old LAs to new LAs.

"This second edition of The Affordable Housing Reader provides context for current discussions surrounding housing policy, emphasizing the values and assumptions underlying debates over strategies for ameliorating housing problems experienced by low-income residents and communities of color. The authors highlighted in this updated volume address themes central to housing as an area of social policy and to understanding its particular meaning in the U.S. These include the long history of racial exclusion and the role that public policy has played in racializing access to decent housing and well-serviced neighborhoods; the tension between the economic and social goals of housing policy; and, the role that housing plays in various aspects of the lives of low and moderate income residents. Scholarship and the COVID-19 pandemic are raising awareness of the link between access to adequate housing and other rights and opportunities. This timely reader focuses attention on the results of past efforts and on the urgency of re-framing the conversation. It is both an exciting time to teach students about the evolution of United States' housing policy and a challenging time to discuss what policymakers or practitioners can do to effect positive change. This reader is aimed at students, professors, researchers, and professionals of housing policy, public policy, and city planning"--

Housing is considered affordable if it costs 30% or less of a household's income, and "is deed-restricted to income-eligible low- or moderate-income residents" (MAPC, n.d.). According to the Joint Center of Housing Studies (JCHS), as of 2017, 31.5% of all American households were considered cost-burdened by rent, meaning they spent more than 30% of their income on rent. That same year, the percentage of severely cost-burdened households (those who spent over 50% of their income in rent) was 15.2%. This means that almost half of all Americans struggled to pay rent in 2017 (Veal & Spader, 2018).
