The Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) looks at the types of housing required to meet York's housing needs over the next 5 years and was completed in July 2007.  It is used to inform planning and housing policies and strategies.

The SHMA draws on a range of research data including a postal survey of over 13,000 households in York and discussions with estate and letting agents.  It looks in detail at the housing needs of groups such as older people, young families and people with support needs.
