Nearly half of all American households face bodily harm from inadequate housing, according to a new report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC). The report, “Out of Reach: The affordability crisis and its impact on America’s families,” found that 48.1 percent of US households live in housing that is too expensive or not affordable at all, which puts them at risk for physical harm.

Inadequate housing can be a major contributor to physical harm for households. The study found that households living in “severely inadequate” housing are the most likely to experience physical harm, with 27.4 percent of all households experiencing this type of harm. This is notably more than any other type of housing.
For these households, inadequate housing can mean many things, such as lack of access to necessary resources like heat or proper sanitation. In some cases, it can also lead to overcrowding and a lack of privacy.
The report provides several recommendations to address the issue of inadequate housing, including increasing development and financing opportunities, improving access to affordable housing, and increasing federal and state funding for homeless assistance and affordable housing.
The affordability crisis and its impact on America’s families is leading to increased levels of bodily harm among American households.
The National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) has released a report that finds that nearly half of all American households face bodily harm from inadequate housing. The report, “Out of Reach: The affordability crisis and its impact on America’s families,” found that 48.1 percent of US households live in housing that is too expensive or not affordable at all, which puts them at risk for physical harm.
The report found that households living in “severely inadequate” housing (27.4 percent) are the most likely to experience physical harm. This is in large part due to the high cost of housing, which makes it difficult for low-income families to afford an adequate place to live. In fact, the report estimates that the cost of housing affects over one in four low-income families in the United States.
As a result of the affordability crisis, many families are forced to live in unsafe and unhealthy dwellings. This can lead to serious health problems, such as asthma and chronic pain. It can also lead to mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression.
The affordability crisis is a major issue facing America today. It is causing significant harm to families, and the government needs to take action to address the problem.
The report findings underscore the importance of addressing the affordability crisis in America. With too many American households living in inadequate housing, physical harm is all too common. This issue must be addressed immediately to prevent further harm to families.
