Transit-Connected Affordable Homes
SECURING AND EXPANDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES NEAR TRANSIT
 A new AARP report co-authored by the National Housing Trust and Reconnecting America has found that more than 250,000 privately-owned, federally subsidized apartments exist within walking distance to quality transit in 20 metro areas. With demand to live near transit on the rise, this critical housing resource is increasingly at risk in the face of upward pressure on housing prices and expiring government subsidies.
Maintaining and improving affordable housing near transit is essential for ensuring that all Americans can enjoy the benefits of sustainable communities.
