Homelessness, and the threat of homelessness, is a burden facing too many people throughout our communities. Affordable housing is a necessary protection against homelessness and a pathway back to stability.
There is a significant and rising need for more affordable housing everywhere.
A need for more secure and affordable tenancies without the risk of eviction. A need for safe homes, healthy homes—not those that just scrape up to the boundary of an ‘adequate roof’. For too many people in our communities, this sort of housing is out of reach.

Consideration must be given to health and special health needs varying across time and stages of the life cycle.
