Assessment of the Loss of Housing for Non-Elderly People with Disabilities : Final Report to Congress

In 1999 Congress directed HUD to assess the loss of assisted housing for NEPD that has occurred since 1993. Prior to 1992, the law had required properties constructed to serve elderly tenants to have a certain percentage of units set aside for young people with disabilities. The Housing & Community Development Act of 1992 allowed property owners to restrict the availability of units intended for the elderly to people who were 62 or older. This study sheds light on the effect of this change in the law on the availability of assisted housing to NEPD. Case studies of 50 projects in 10 metro areas tested alternative explanations of the variations in admissions & occupancy by NEPD.Locke, Gretchen is the author of 'Assessment of the Loss of Housing for Non-Elderly People with Disabilities : Final Report to Congress', published 2002 under ISBN 9780756721046 and ISBN 0756721040.
