mediaofthemovement: “For decades, having a decent, safe place to call home has been a cornerstone of opportunity in America – a place where we can raise our families, connect to our communities, and pursue opportunities for a better life for ourselves and our children. But as the National Low Income Housing Coalition shows with this report, for too many Americans that opportunity is out of reach, as families confront a wide gap between the cost of housing and their ability to pay for it. And in the wake of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, that gap has only grown.
