Preserving affordable housing is essential to ensuring low-income families have access to safe, stable homes. This report, co-authored by the Public and Affordable Housing Research Corporation and the National Low Income Housing Coalition, examines the state of the affordable housing stock in the United States. It explores trends in housing preservation, risks of affordable units leaving the market, and the critical role of federal housing programs in maintaining affordability. The report highlights the urgency of preserving affordable housing to meet growing demand and outlines strategies for policymakers, advocates, and housing providers.


What you’ll learn

Here’s what you can expect to gain:

  • Insights into the current supply and risks facing affordable housing units.
  • Trends and challenges in preserving affordable housing stock across the U.S.
  • Policy recommendations and strategies for preventing the loss of affordable housing.

Why this matters

Affordable housing is increasingly at risk due to expiring subsidies, market pressures, and a growing demand far outpacing supply. This report underscores the importance of proactive preservation efforts to maintain affordable housing options for low-income families and individuals. Preserving existing units prevents displacement, reduces homelessness, and supports equitable communities nationwide.
