Issue Position: Affordable Housing

Issue Position

Affordable housing encourages and supports the economic and community development of the Granite State. With vacancy rates of 1-3% in the southern tier of NH, workers have a difficult time finding an apartment they can afford. Purchasing a home is even more daunting since starter homes are scarce. Housing availability is not keeping pace with our economic growth. Prices and rents are surpassing wage growth. Without enough affordable housing, we cannot attract new workers. We must find ways to support affordable housing for all workers in NH.
