Cracks in the Foundation: America’s Housing Crisis
Everyone should have access to affordable and quality housing. Housing is a universal issue that impacts every corner of our country, every political persuasion, every rung of the social economic ladder. Over 650,000 of our neighbors are homeless, first-time home ownership is at a record low, and US home prices have skyrocketed over 40% since 2020. Lack of access to housing disproportionately impacts communities of color and it has never been more difficult for first-time, first-generation homebuyers to purchase a home. Learn how mayors are tackling the nation’s housing crisis and why the time is now to pass the largest and most comprehensive investment in housing in American history.
