Everyone deserves a home they can afford. Yet rising housing costs have made that increasingly difficult for many working individuals and families. Affordable housing provides homes with rents or purchase prices that fit household incomes, creating stability and expanding opportunity. When communities invest in affordable housing, families remain rooted, employers retain workers, and local economies grow stronger. The Market Report identifies where affordable housing is needed most, where new developments are occurring, and which investments are creating lasting community impact.

• –Single-Family Affordable Homes
• –Multifamily Affordable Housing
• –Mixed-Income Housing
• –Workforce Housing

Communities depend on teachers, nurses, first responders, and other essential workers. Yet many cannot afford to live where they work. Workforce housing provides homes for middle-income households that earn too much for traditional assistance but struggle with market-rate housing costs. When essential workers live closer to their jobs, communities become stronger, businesses retain talent, and public services improve. The Market Report tracks workforce housing demand, development activity, and investment opportunities across local markets.

The Market Report highlights senior housing demand, development trends, and opportunities to support an aging population.
