The Supply-Demand Imbalance

Low-Income Households vs. Housing Availability

  • There are approximately 26.9 million households earning 80% AMI and below and only 25.4 million housing options available to them

  • The number of units with rents below $1,000 per month declined by 4.7 million between 2015 and 2020

  • There is no county in the U.S. where a full-time minimum wage worker can afford a 2-bedroom apartment

  • A full-time minimum wage worker can afford a 1-bedroom apartment in only 7% of the counties in America

Northern Liberties deploys a targeted preservation strategy that directs capital improvements to areas that generate significant economic and social impact.
