Millions of people in the U.S. are in need of homes, it is time that we recognize the #affordablehousingcrisis.

[NatlHCHCouncil @NatlHCHCouncil]

According to @evictionlab, an estimated 2.3 million people in the U.S. are evicted from their homes each year. Rising rents coupled with stagnant wages create the perfect storm, and the need for #affordablehousing in this country could not be any clearer. https://t.co/vOQDcKe9F8

There are new proposals in Congress that address the affordable housing crisis in the United States. Check out @NLIHC's post to learn more about the proposals!
