Affordability and Social Equity
Scholars, advocates, and architects assess America s affordable housing crisis and suggest various strategies to rectify it, including numerous images of important, recently built houses and complexes.
On any given night, more than 500,000 people in the United States many with families and full-time jobs experience homelessness. The shortfall in affordable housing is estimated to be 5 million units or more. Devastating effects of these conditions include an increase in multigenerational poverty, a decrease in economic mobility, and since the housing crisis has a disproportionate impact on communities of color a heightening of racial injustice.
