Report: Affordable Housing Crisis for Every County in US
June 19, 2015
New research from the Urban Institute reveals that zero counties in the US have enough housing for families in extreme poverty. In fact, the number of affordable homes for extremely low-income families has declined substantially since 2000. According to CityLab, 37 out of 100 of these families could afford their rental home in 2000 as opposed to 28 of 100 in 2013. The crisis is bleakest in the South and West but there is no area of the nation that is not affected. Extreme poverty describes families that make no more than 30% of an area’s median household income. [CITY]
