Indiana already has a gap of 137K rental homes that are affordable & available to extremely low-income Hoosiers. The new Public and Affordable Housing Research Corporation (PAHRC) Preservation Dashboard finds that Indiana will lose 7,395 more affordable homes in the next 5 years (and 85K over 30 years) without policy action!
According to PAHRC, a safe and affordable home is out of reach for more than 15 million American families, and they are working to change that. PAHRC gives people who care the data they need to create and preserve affordable homes in their communities. PAHRC helps researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advocates build evidence-based cases for why affordable housing matters. Right now, the housing shortage is affecting every state in the nation, as well as Americans across a wide range of incomes: veterans, people with disabilities, working parents, college graduates entering the workforce, and citizens near or at retirement age. Many over-arching factors are contributing to this shortage. Yet, community by community, change is possible. And change starts with data.
This dashboard can be used at the state, county, and Congressional district levels: https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/cateasp/viz/PreservationRiskDashboard/USPreservation
