In a recent report made to Congress entitled "Worst Case Housing Needs 2011: Report to Congress," HUD reported dramatic increases in worst case housing needs during the 2009 to 2011 period that cut across demographic groups, household types, and regions. This rise in hardship among renters was due to substantial increases in rental housing demand and weakening incomes that increase competition for already scarce affordable units.
