CURA is a co-sponsor of the "HOME: Health, Opportunity, Mobility, and Equity in Housing."

Yet housing has become increasingly unaffordable for many families, and…

The concept of social housing is beginning to gain traction in various jurisdictions around the United States. While there is no one set definition, social housing is usually marked by permanent affordability of rental units, public ownership or control of those units, affordability for a wide range of incomes, and some level of democratic control for residents.
