Last year, the lack of affordable housing in our communities, drove nearly half of all renter households in the United States – over 50 million people – closer to the edge of a financial cliff. These households – one out of every seven Americans – are paying more than 1/3 of their pre-tax income just to stay in their homes. As a result, it has become harder for them to afford groceries and clothes, and build wealth. They are falling further behind because we do not have enough housing supply that is affordable for them to rent.
