Sustainable Communities
This section features publications that look beyond the specific question of how much housing costs to consider how affordable housing can contribute to broader sustainability and energy-efficiency objectives. Among other topics, this section examines the combined costs of housing and transportation and explores strategies for reducing those combined costs to improve overall affordability, such as affordable transit-oriented development. This section also examines how to improve energy-efficiency of existing and new homes.

Losing Ground: The Struggle of Moderate-Income Households to Afford the Rising Costs of Housing and Transportation
Robert Hickey, Jeffrey Lubell, Peter Haas, Stephanie Morse
In this report, the Center for Housing Policy and CNT have partnered to gauge the housing and transportation cost burdens of moderate-income households living in the 25 largest metro areas at the end of the decade. Newly available data give us an opportunity to assess the impact on combined costs of the rapid rise and fall of home prices during the 2000s, the recent rebound in rents, and the nation’s increased suburbanization over the past decade.
