A large number of studies show that a shortage of affordable housing – at least in the US – is caused partially by income inequality and gentrification thus, the number of quality rental units decreased as the demand for higher quality housing increased.

Through gentrification of older neighborhoods in the major cities through-out the US, rental prices increased rapidly as landlords discovered new residents willing to pay higher market rate for housing therefore leaving lower income families with less rental options. The ad valorem property tax policy combined with rising prices made it difficult or impossible for low income residents to maintain.

Our Focus is primarily the unserved, low income and the Urban Inner cities that sincerely seeks to promote the best interests of the community

Our Goal is to implement and to improve the economic, educational and judicial realities of Affordable housing is housing which is deemed affordable to those with a median household income or below as rated by the national government or a local government by a recognized housing affordability index. Most of the literature on affordable housing refers to mortgages and number of forms that exist along a continuum – from emergency shelters, to transitional housing, to non-market rental (also known as social or subsidized housing), to formal and informal rental, indigenous housing, and ending with affordable home ownership families and the prospects for racial equity more broadly.”
