The new Gap report finds that the economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by significant rent increases, drastically impacted the supply of affordable and available rental homes, nationally, in recent years. https://nlihc.org/news/nlihc-releases-gap-2023-shortage-affordable-homes #affordablehousing #theapartmentlady --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theapartmentlady/message

The report finds that renters of color are more likely than white households to be renters with extremely low incomes and are more likely to be directly impacted by the lack of affordable rental housing.
