Housing Stability Priority Area

Many of our residents experience a high frequency of forced moves, triggered by poor housing quality, unstable neighborhood conditions, and high costs of housing in relation to income. All of these conditions can contribute to doubling up and overcrowding in housing units, chronic homelessness, and a high rate of unplanned residential mobility. Frequent forced moves have damaging financial and health impacts on our residents and neighborhoods, especially on our school-aged children. The City and i-team worked on ways to reduce transiency and improve stability for our residents.
