ASHA Joins Coalition Letter to Congress on Housing Affordability

ASHA joined a letter to Congress with national real estate associations and organizations representing a broad coalition of housing providers and advocates that are committed to working together with policymakers and the Administration to address America’s housing affordability crisis.

The coalition writes: “First and foremost, we must seek solutions that support increased supply—at all price points. Without investment in our nation’s housing, we will face housing instability and affordability challenges now and in the future.”
