      New Opening Doors #27 - This issue highlights TAC's latest study, Priced Out in 2004. This important national study verifies that low-income people with disabilities continue to experience a severe housing affordability crisis by comparing the monthly SSI income of more than 4 million Americans with disabilities to HUD’s fair market rental rates for efficiencies and modest one-bedroom apartments in every housing market in the country.  In a housing market with national rent increases that exceed SSI benefits, more and more people with disabilities who rely on SSI payments are being left behind.
