No family should have to pay more than half of their paycheck to cover the cost of home. 

Because of increased housing costs and growing income inequality, nearly one-third of households in the United States face cost burdens leaving nearly 38 million households with little income to afford the cost of food, health care and other basic necessities.

In South Carolina, 1 in 8 households spend more than half of their income on housing.

We have to take a stand and declare our commitment.

The Cost of Home campaign aims to increase home affordability by influencing policies focused on:

• Increasing supply and preservation of affordable homes

• Equitably increasing access to credit

• Optimizing land use for affordable homes

• Ensuring access to and development of communities of opportunity.
