What is Affordable Housing?
Affordable housing means housing that costs no more than 30% of a household’s gross income. It ensures families have enough left over for essentials like food, transportation, healthcare, and education.
- For Families: Without affordable housing, families often face difficult choices, like cutting back on groceries or skipping medical care to pay rent.
- For Communities: Affordable housing supports stable neighborhoods, improves educational outcomes for children, and reduces homelessness.
- For Charlotte: With rising housing costs, thousands of residents are struggling to find homes they can afford. By addressing this issue, we build a stronger, more resilient city.
“We want not just for people to be housed, but we want them to feel the dignity of work. We want to see the success of their children.”
— Mayor Vi Lyles
