“Home and community matter most. Yet in so many neighborhoods across the country, rising housing costs and interest rates have put homeownership out of reach for growing numbers of families. Nationally, 10.5 million households spend more than half their earnings on rent, forcing families to make difficult trade-offs that compromise their health and well-being. But the problem is bigger than supply and demand. Legacies of racist policies and practices have disproportionately excluded and jeopardized communities of color from the opportunities that come with a stable, affordable home.
How can we break through barriers to ensure everyone has access to an affordable home where they can thrive? A Better Way Home presents six bold solutions that challenge how we confront housing affordability in the U.S.”
