Lack of affordable housing reaches ‘Crisis Proportions’
A relatively new group told the City Council that the limited availability of affordable housing in the city is now at a crisis, and requires more drastic and immediate action.
At least two council members agreed with the assessment Monday provided by the Affordable Housing Collaborative during a council work session. The Affordable Housing Collaborative is a group of five people who formed in 2019 to do more in-depth research into the city’s lack of affordable housing — defined as housing that costs more than 30% of a person’s annual income.
