The Affordable Housing Act

The Affordable Housing Act is legislation designed to increase access to affordable housing options for low- and moderate-income individuals and families. It provides funding, incentives, and policies to support the development, preservation, and accessibility of affordable housing units. The goal is to reduce homelessness, improve community stability, and ensure everyone has access to safe, decent, and affordable places to live. The act often involves collaborations between federal, state, and local governments, as well as private partners, to address housing shortages and barriers that limit affordable housing availability.
