At the invitation of the New York State Urban Development Corporation, Regional Plan Association prepared a report on housing needs in the New York Urban Region. It was released on July 22, 1969. The Corporation, headed by Edward J. Logue, was established by the New York State Legislature in 1968.
Though referring mainly to New York City and the nine suburban counties of New York State within the Region—Westchester, Nassau, Suffolk, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, Sullivan and Ulster—the conclusions and much of the data relate to the whole Region, including fourteen Northeastern New Jersey counties and the southwestern section of Connecticut.
