Worst Case Housing Needs Among Adults With Disabilities

The CCD Housing Task Force study – The Hidden Housing Crisis: Worst Case Housing Needs Among Non-Elderly Adults With Disabilities – analyzed data on the housing of persons with disabilities from the 2005 American Community Survey to estimate worst case needs among non-elderly adult renters with disabilities. Worst case needs, a concept designed to count the number of renters with acute needs for rental housing assistance, are defined as unassisted renters with income below half of their area’s median family income who either pay more than half of their income for housing or live in severely substandard housing.
