The Escalating Affordable Housing Shortage Nationwide
The United States faces a deficit of approximately 7.3 million affordable rental homes for extremely low-income families.
Nearly 31.3% of American households are cost-burdened, spending a significant portion of their income on housing.
The national housing shortage has grown to 4.5 million homes as of 2022, exacerbating affordability issues.
