The Location of Affordable and Subsidized Rental Housing Across and Within the Largest Cities in the U.S. April 8

This webinar will bring the Research Institute for Housing America’s white paper of the same title to life and allow MBA members to hear directly from its author.

The report illustrates a significant and growing lack of affordable rental housing in the largest cities in the United States. While housing was already unaffordable for LMI households in a few of the largest cities located in geographically constrained areas in 2001, almost all cities became less affordable over the next two decades with median rents increasing annually at 2.0% above inflation while median incomes only increased 0.8%.

Multifamily professionals at all levels will want to attend this discussion and hear how the data, trends and programs can impact your business.
