Stable housing housing that is safe, healthy and affordable is foundational to individuals and families, to the communities in which we live and to the economies in which we all participate.

Increased family stability and economic mobility, a greater sense of dignity and civic pride, stronger and more vibrant communities that can attract and keep business and manufacturing these are all connected to stable, decent, affordable housing.

But millions in the U.S. struggle daily with housing costs. Even before the pandemic, 1 in 3 families was already paying more than 30% of their income on housing costs. Worse, 1 in 6 families was already paying half or more on housing a level deemed severely cost-burdened. In the State of California, 1 in 5 households spends more than half their income on housing.
