- 50% of the state’s households are unable to accord the cost of housing in their local market.
- The affordable housing gap is $50 billion per year.
- The affordable housing gap results in $140 billion in lost economic output per year.
The report offered a handy two-page summary of their key findings and recommendations that can be downloaded here.
