May is Affordable Housing Month!

May is Affordable Housing Month! Now more than ever, families need the security and stability of a safe, affordable home. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, nearly 1.3 million households in CA are considered low-income, yet for every 100 of these households, there are only 24 affordable homes available for rent. Because of this, families often sacrifice necessities like healthcare and nutrition in order to make rent, and often face the risk of eviction. Everyone has a right to an affordable place to call home, and LifeSTEPS will continue to support initiatives that expand access to equitable and inclusive affordable housing for all.
