Description:

NLIHC and the Public and Affordable Housing Research Corporation (PAHRC) released today Picture of Preservation 2024. The report analyzes data from the National Housing Preservation Database (NHPD) to assess the existing federally assisted housing stock and the specific preservation risks faced by these homes, including expiring affordability and eligibility restrictions, declining physical quality, and significant reductions in federal allocations. Mitigating these risks and preserving the existing federally assisted housing stock is essential to any effort to expand the supply of affordable housing for the lowest-income renters.
