3 Main Takeaways:
- In 2019, nearly 40 million households were “housing cost burdened,” spending more than 30% of their income on housing. One in 7 households - 17.6 million in total - were “severely cost burdened,” spending half or more of their income on housing.
- Affordable housing is designed to fit the community character in size and style. It is privately owned, designed, and developed.
- There is no correlation between affordable housing and crime. Failure to build affordable housing leads to overcrowding, absentee owners and deteriorating properties with no alternatives available to low income families.
