HOUSING AFFORDABILITY IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS AFFECTING OUR SOCIETY TODAY

For decades, the U.S. has tried numerous solutions: philanthropic projects, public housing, federally underwritten mortgages, housing vouchers and federal tax credits. All of them have helped and failed in one way or another.

There is no quick or easy fix to the problem. Only by combining our efforts can we hope to make a dent in this challenging problem.
