The Affordable Housing Action Plan. 

 THE PROMISE OF A DECENT, SAFE AND SANITARY HOME. 

Housing the Nation’s people in a decent, safe and sanitary home has been an American priority at least since The Housing Act of 1949. 

THE CHALLENGE OF OUR TIME. 

The promise is not being fulfilled. Providing affordable housing for the town’s residents is the challenge of the day. Middle- and low-income workers are getting hit from both ends: wages are stagnant and housing costs are accelerating. Affordable housing for America’s low- and moderate-income families is moving up the public policy and action priority list.
