Housing costs are an increasingly urgent problem for families across the United States, with 39 million households struggling to afford a home. As rent and home prices continue to outpace incomes, rental markets tighten, and housing development lags behind population growth, more and more people are struggling to pay rent or afford their mortgage, and homelessness continues to rise. While the Trump administration’s agenda threatens to take us backward, cities are taking a variety of approaches to provide residents with affordable homes that are safe, accessible, and supportive, as well as to prevent and end homelessness among all populations. Join us for a discussion with the mayors of San Francisco; Seattle; Philadelphia; Gary, Indiana; and Sacramento, California, on how cities are working to ensure that every resident has a place to call home.
