Affordable Care Act (impact on housing)
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) primarily aimed to expand health insurance coverage, which indirectly influenced housing stability. By increasing access to healthcare and reducing medical expenses, the ACA helped many avoid eviction or foreclosure due to unpaid medical bills. Additionally, the ACA's protections, such as coverage for pre-existing conditions, improved overall financial security for individuals and families, making it easier to afford housing. In essence, the ACA contributed to housing stability by promoting health security, reducing financial burdens from medical costs, and supporting overall economic well-being.
