Affordable Housing

The availability of affordable housing is a vital component to a thriving community. The availability of homes at all income levels means businesses have access to employees with fewer absences. Workers are more stable and invested in their community. Children have the opportunity to thrive in school, and residents can make healthy choices. Research has shown that stable, affordable housing is critical to enabling families to attend to other needs, be self-sufficient and productive members of the community.
