Why can’t the city do more to provide housing for everyone? |
| There is a great need for affordable housing for D.C. residents with low incomes. At least 52,000 households, including many homeless families, are on the public housing waiting list. In fact, the District is ranked third worst among all states with regard to housing affordability. Buildings that were once affordable are regularly converted into luxury condos and rentals. In the past four years, at least 12,000 affordable housing units have disappeared from the market. |
