Module3: housing

Housing is an essential part of everyday life. Housing plays a role in your ability to access jobs, goods and services, and quality schools. Securing quality housing can be challenging for moderate and low-income households. Harris County Community Services Department cites that roughly 85,500 housing units are overcrowded, 181,500 single-family homes need to be replaced or majorly rehabilitated, and 163,00 households spend more than 30% of their income on housing. This module will investigate the factors that shape housing affordability, who is responsible, and ways you can advocate for more choices in Houston’s housing market.
