Can Community Development Improve Health? Emerging Opportunities for Collaboration between the Health and Community Development Sectors

Declines in Low-Cost Rented Housing Units in Eight Large Southeastern Cities

From the last quarter of 2012 to the last quarter of 2015, median rents rose 23.4 percent in the South, according to the Census Bureau.
