US single-family housing starts rise in May; permits slump

Single-family housing starts, which account for the bulk of homebuilding, rose 0.4% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 924,000 units last month, the Commerce Department's Census Bureau said on Wednesday.

Permits for future construction of single-family housing dropped 2.7% to a rate of 898,000 units in May.
