Description
Summary:Existing research suggests that municipal planners in the United States are well positioned to help local governments advance affordable housing goals. Yet few studies offer members of the profession guidance they can follow to do this in context-specific situations. This practice review article recognizes the gap in the literature and seeks to fill it in part.

Each is designed to yield information about private sector affordable housing providers' capacity to balance financial and social interests before public-private partnerships are formed.
