TAC: Priced Out in the United States – SSI and Housing Affordability & Availability
The Priced Out report, written by Technical Assistance Collaborative (TAC) and the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Housing Task Force, explains the nationwide housing affordability crisis experienced by people with disabilities. In 2016, millions of adults with disabilities living solely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) found that renting even a modest unit in their community would require nearly all of their monthly income. In hundreds of higher-cost housing markets, the average rent for such basic units is actually much greater than the entirety of an SSI monthly payment. TAC has solutions/recommendations to end this crisis.
