Housing & Homelessness
A safe, affordable, and stable home is often the very foundation for economic stability. Yet housing insecurity currently affects almost every community in the nation, and for millions of Americans an affordable place to call home remains out of reach.
Focus areas
Housing is considered affordable if housing costs do not exceed 30% of a household's income.
When people are unable to afford their rent or mortgage, they risk eviction or foreclosure.
Homelessness can take a variety of forms: living in a shelter, in motels, doubled up with family or friends, on the streets, and other places not intended for long-term housing.
