The Gap: A Shortage of Affordable Homes
Released March 2017 by the National Low Income Housing Coalition this report uses national data to show that the lack of affordable units spans across the nation, especially in major cities. It includes information on the affordable housing supply and housing cost burden at national, state and metro levels.
So, What?
There are important parallels between the federally funded $65 billion Mortgage Interest Deduction program at a national level and the lack of enough affordable housing for households earning less than 50% of Area Median Income. This report highlights causes and solutions for consideration and can be used to highlight national trends as well as urge officials to ensure that housing projects include units affordable to households earning less than 50% of Area Median Income.
