Affordable Housing for America’s Workers

Finding an affordable home is a crisis from coast to coast, and everywhere in between. One million new households are formed annually, but entry-level housing priced for these new buyers is unfortunately a thing of the distant past. Wages have not kept up with inflation, a problem compounded by the fact that debt held by the current generation of new households is far greater than it was for their parents. Thus the extreme demand for affordable single-family housing. What is the market’s ability to supply it?

The median home today costs $200,000, with new construction averaging $248,000. A downpayment and stricter financing requirements puts this amount well beyond the reach of most new households. These facts explain the explosive growth of single-family rentals, which account for over 13% of housing units in the US today.

We’ve found it is simply to renovate old houses in disrepair to “like new”, bringing affordable rentals to market.
