National Housing Goal
The state of the housing inventory and the characteristics of housing production in 1977 are described, along with anticipated developments in 1978, a summary of the housing policies of the current Administration, and data and other material on some of the broader issues which relate to future housing policy. Six objectives of housing policy are listed and discussed: (1) meeting assisted housing needs through new construction starts and increased occupancy levels; (2) fully using the existing housing stock by reclaiming and restoring deteriorated units; (3) being responsive to the particular needs of individual communities; (4) increasing the housing choices available to low income and minority families; (5) improving the delivery system of housing services to small towns and rural areas; and (6) encouraging middle - income households to remain in or return to the older urban areas. Statistics on housing production and marketing show that, while multifamily and mobile home output was meager, the single family housing production level of 1.451 million units in 1977 was the highest volume on record, with the exception of one or two years in the early 1950s. The outlook for housing production and marketing throughout 1978 is for continued high levels of output, although the total volume is expected to be somewhat lower than in 1977. Housing prices and costs continue to be a matter of concern, and trends in construction and operating costs in relation to general prices in the economy and the incomes of homeowners and renters are discussed. Changes in the quality of the nation's existing housing stock, based on evidence from the decennial census and the Annual Housing Survey are examined. It is concluded there will be no significant supply shortages in 1978. Statistical tables are included, and the appendices discuss Federal aids for housing, preservation of existing housing and neighborhoods, nonfinancial resources for housing production, availability of mortgage funds for housing in 1978, and a comparative review of European experience in determining future housing requirements.
