Concerning New Data Reveals Affordable Housing is out of Reach for Low-Wage Workers Across Indiana6/18/2018
Prosperity Indiana released the following information regarding Concerning New Data Reveals Affordable Housing is out of Reach for Low-Wage Workers Across Indiana.
Popular opinion is that Indiana has a low cost of living, but it is clear that is simply not the case for low-wage workers across the Hoosier state, according to a national report released today. In order to afford a modest, two-bedroom apartment at fair market rent in Indiana, renters need to earn $15.56 per hour. The report, Out of Reach: The High Cost of Housing, was jointly released by Prosperity Indiana and the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC), a research and advocacy organization dedicated solely to achieving affordable and decent homes for the lowest income people.
