Impact

The Need for
Affordable Housing

Affordable housing has a real impact on family stability and the future success of children. A lack of affordable housing causes undesirable events such as moves, increased need for public assistance and, for far too many, homelessness. What’s more, children in these households are half as likely to be proficient in reading as their peers, and are more likely to drop out of school. Sufficient affordable housing improves the quality of life for all residents and directly contributes to the well-being of our region.

Reduces strain on public assistance programs as less income is committed to housing and more financial resources are available for nutritious food, healthcare expenses and education

Makes it easier to hire and retain employees critical to our region’s success

Increases productivity and lowers absenteeism among employees who have shorter commutes and are able to spend more time with families

Decreases traffic congestion as workforce employees live closer to public transportation and workplaces
