What are the challenges facing the next administration when it comes to housing?

• 11 million households spend more than half of their income on rent
• There is a shortage of affordable rental homes
• The available houses are being rented by higher-income households making it so only 3 in 10 extremely low income renters have access to affordable housing
• Millennials aren’t buying homes
• More people are remodeling than buying

Housing Plan Comparison: The next president has to deal with the current housing issues. Clinton has laid out a specific plan, and Trump has mentioned what he would but has no released a plan.
