Pennsylvania Housing Studies
The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency regularly commissions studies on various facets of the housing market in Pennsylvania. These studies help us ensure that our policies and programs are in sync with current market conditions and future trends. We post those studies here for the benefit of other housing professionals and anyone interested in the topic of affordable housing. Past studies are archived here so that they remain easily accessible by the public.
