Affordable housing shortage forces low-income families into prolonged homelessness or unstable living situations

Low-income families across the US struggle to access affordable housing, with demand far exceeding supply. Current solutions like Habitat for Humanity can only serve a fraction of need (214 homes built over years in one county), leaving thousands on waitlists. Families remain trapped in expensive rentals, shelters, or unstable housing while waiting years for affordable homeownership opportunities.
