Planning to Meet Local Housing Needs : The Role of HUD's Consolidated Planning Requirements in the 1990s

This report looks at locally prepared Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategies (CHAS)/Consolidated Plans that carry out the mandates of the National Affordable Housing Act. This study reviews how large central cities & suburban jurisdictions in six metropolitan areas (Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Minneapolis, San Antonio, & San Francisco) -- with very diverse housing markets -- undertook housing needs analysis, set priorities & developed housing plan strategies during the 1990s. It then examines what actually was carried out during that time period & how local needs for affordable housing changed.
