Why: Today, six years after the Great Recession officially ended, our nation's housing system remains mired in a state of crisis. Rising rents, an acute shortage of affordable rental homes, significantly tighter mortgage credit, and an uneven economic recovery have combined to make housing a source of distress and instability for million of families.
