The poorest Alabamians are having a harder time paying rent than in years past, according to a new report by housing advocates. 🏡 Here's more about the problem and what folks are trying to do about that:
About a third of renters in the state are considered extremely low-income and severely burdened by the cost of housing, according to the report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition which relied on self-reported data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Most people in this category are disabled or senior citizens, said Jay Williams of the Alabama Low Income Housing Coalition. Of extremely low-income renters, 22 percent are disabled, 23 percent are seniors, and 36 percent working. “As we continue to not have a state investment in the development of homes in our state, that problem is going to continue to get worse,” said Williams.which was created but not funded. The trust fund could help cities incentivize affordable rental housing, said Williams.
