About Homeownership & Housing Affordability

Affordable homes are critical to achieving financial self-sufficiency. When rents and mortgages sync with income, families can pay for other necessities, such as healthcare, childcare or transportation. Housing supports, such as vouchers that make rent affordable, dramatically reduce homelessness and help over a million Americans avoid poverty every year.
