Abstract
Urban housing markets are currently experiencing the multiple effects of new private construction and government assisted housing programs. The extent to which low-income house- holds benefit from new private construction through the turnover of housing, and whether one or more assistance program is more efficient in providing adequate housing for these households per subsidy dollar spent, should be a main consideration of all urban planners in the formulation of policy. This article presents the results of an empirical study completed in 1970 of the effects of new private construction and multiple housing programs in the Columbus, Ohio, housing market and considers the tradeoffs planners must make in adopting a particular subsidy policy.Keywords
