Affordable, Quality Housing
Below you will find regional and county-level housing goals, housing baseline statistics, success stories for communities making positive impacts in the housing realm, and resources for implementing affordable housing practices in your community.
Affordable Housing is, put simply, housing that a household can obtain, while still having money left over for other necessities such as food, transportation, and health care. Typically, affordable housing costs less than 30% of the household’s gross annual income. Throughout the Regional Community Strategic Planning Process conducted as part of BRADD’s 2022-2027 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, each of BRADD’s 10 counties set goals and objectives address housing needs in their communities. Additionally, BRADD has several regional goals targeting affordable, quality housing. A summary of both the regional goals and county goals and objectives can be found in the tabs to the right.
