Abstract

The housing crisis is an issue that involves the absence of homes, especially affordable homes, from today’s market. This review asks a series of questions on this crisis that focus on why the housing crisis exists, its history, and solutions. These questions are then answered through discussion of various perspectives that highlight the importance of three groups: governments, housing practitioners, and communities. As discussed in this paper, these groups are essential to move forward from the current state of the housing crisis, developing its solutions and, hopefully, resolving the crisis altogether.
