Affordable Housing: Needs and Impacts  

The affordable housing crisis in Southwest Florida has been well-documented on a national level. The issue affects various segments of the population, with some groups disproportionately facing housing affordability challenges. Unable to keep up with the rising costs of housing, Florida's working families, communities of color, older adults and people with disabilities are bearing the brunt of this housing crisis. Research shows that a lack of quality, affordable housing has impacts on physical and mental well-being, educational attainment, workforce issues, and more. This session provides an overview of affordable housing principles, regulations, and strategies with a specific focus on the crisis in Southwest Florida.
