By California Housing Partnership, October 2019
The California Housing Partnership has regularly documented the severity of the housing affordability crisis that affects every county in the State. As the crisis has deepened in recent years, more and more families have been affected, leading some State leaders— particularly those from higher cost coastal areas—to consider investing scarce resources to help the “missing middle” afford housing.
As planning for a new budget and legislative cycle kick off this month, the California Housing Partnership presents new data on the income required to afford modest rents in each county across the State.
The purpose of this analysis is to provide insights into whether State housing resources are being appropriately targeted, and whether it actually makes sense for these resources to be used to provide assistance to “missing middle” households, and if so where.
