Task Force has attempted to learn from the demise of the old system as well as from some of the successful models developed in its wake. We have made three essential findings that have guided our efforts in developing a system to replace the old one. First, any national system for financing multifamily housing must be locally based. Successful rental projects must be underwritten initially at the local level by those with full knowledge of the loca1 population and housing markets. Second, investments in affordable rental housing, if done properly can be good business. Third, while government plays an indispensable role in any housing finance system, we should maximize the involvement and investment of the private sector.

National housing policy is the subject of ongoing debate, and this book brings together much of the current wisdom on the issues that lie at the center of the debate. This volume addresses a wide range of policy concerns, including: Who should receive limited federal housing resources? How and to what extent should we preserve the existing, private, subsidized, and public low income housing stock? What are the appropriate roles for the federal, state and local governments, the nonprofits and the private sector in delivering housing programs? This comprehensive study of housing policy in the U.S. is the result of the MIT Housing Policy Project (1987-89), which was directed by the editors.
