Description
Homeownership has been an aspirational goal of most Americans since the earliest day's of the nation's existence. It has been touted as vital to every realm of daily life, from retirement planning to raising a family. The dream of owning a home, however, is out of reach for a growing percentage of Americans. Why? What are the economic, political, and social trends driving this affordability crisis in housing? How is the growth in housing insecurity making it harder for Americans to provide for their children, save for retirement, and enjoy a high quality of life? This resource provides the answers to those pressing questions and many more.
