In America, there is a severe shortage of affordable places to call home. It costs the U.S. economy $2 trillion per year in lost wages and productivity,* but hurts renters most, especially the 11 million households spending more than half of their paycheck on rent.
Every day, we fight to put good homes within reach. We invest in and advocate for quality homes that are affordable and resilient to climate events.
