This study examines the nonprofit housing developers' record in housing production and community development tasks; identifies the barriers encountered; reviews steps to overcome barriers; and assesses the implications of institutional and policy changes for future nonprofit housing production. Researchers examined previous analyses, analyzed data from a national survey of community development corporations, assembled primary source materials from nonprofit organizations and support institutions, and conducted field research. Also discussed are the data sources used in this study and their limitations, as well as the national policy interest in affordable housing sponsorship.
