Most experts agree that the federal government over-subsidizes homeownership, especially for higher-income households. The bipartisan deficit commission has called for reform of the mortgage interest deduction. Many policymakers think we need a more balanced housing policy that better addresses the needs of low- and moderate-income homeowners and renters. Proposals and prospects for reform were covered in this session, as part of the National Low-Income Housing Coalition’s 2011 Annual Housing Policy Conference and Lobby Day. Speakers included CEPR Co-Director Dean Baker; Mark Calabria, Financial Regulation Studies, Cato Institute; and Sheila Crowley, president of the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
