According to NETWORK, a national Catholic social justice lobby, “increasing numbers of families at the extremely-low-income level do not have a place to call home. Up to 40% of foreclosures have been on rental property, much of which was affordable to lower income households. There is insufficient affordable housing stock available for people who need it the most.”

The National Housing Trust Fund, created in 2008, has yet to receive the necessary funding to address the shortage of available housing for low-income families.  For more information, please visit www.nhtinc.org.
