The housing burden, exacerbated by the expiration of pandemic-era relief measures and rising inflation, has made it difficult for local governments to keep people housed despite rapid new housing developments. Access to affordable housing in urban areas is limited, leading to economic disparities and concentrations of poverty. Communities should use data, restructure incentives, and leverage partnerships to drive creative solutions to address the housing crisis.
