The charge that student loan debt is causing young adults to postpone home ownership has come from various quarters, including the CFPB.

The article, entitled “Is Student Loan Debt Discouraging Home Buying Among Young Adults?,” was written by Jason Houle from Dartmouth College and Lawrence Berger from the University of Wisconsin.
