Housing isn't just a housing issue. It is a community issue.

A recent survey found that nearly 96% of mayors identified housing costs as their community's top affordability concern. From attracting and retaining workers to supporting local economic growth, housing affordability impacts us all.

Approximately 93% of recently surveyed mayors report the cost of living in their city has worsened over the last year. | Local leaders report high rents, food insecurity, and less disposable income for residents.
