The Opportunity

Strong Market Demand

The United States has a consequential and long-standing housing challenge. Every single state in America has an inadequate supply of housing for low- and moderate-income renters and our most essential workers — including first-responders, medical staff, teachers and social workers who are critical to the health and prosperity of our communities.

Nationwide Housing Challenges:

  • 4M Units
    Nationwide housing shortage.1
  • 7M Units
    Housing deficit for households at or below the poverty level.2
  • 36 of 100
    Affordable, available homes for low-income households.3
  • 0%
    States where a full-time worker earning minimum wage can afford a modest 2-bedroom rental.4
  • 7%
    Counties (238 out of 3,000+) in which a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a 1-bedroom rental.4
  • 23%
    Americans who spend at least 50% of their income on rent.5
