Did you know?

Substandard housing is not housing that is old or outdated. It is housing that poses a risk to the health and physical well-being of its occupants, neighbors and visitors. Substandard housing brings increased risk of disease and decreased mental health to the families and individuals who live there.

Affordable housing benefits

Communities:

Housing is the foundation of strong communities. Families with stable housing maintain their homes, participate in volunteer and civic activities and form stronger ties with their neighbors.

Health:

People in stable housing are more likely to have the financial resources to meet health needs and access primary care.

Economy:

Building affordable housing supports jobs, encourages upward mobility and puts money into local economies, even after construction is done. Access to affordable housing alleviates the costly burden of homelessness on communities and households, which ultimately strengthens the economy.

Education:

Children who grow up in housing their families can afford have improved behavioral and cognitive health outcomes, better access to high-quality education and higher achievement in school.
