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. |
