Housing
Having safe and accessible housing people can afford is a basic need. Where you live can significantly impact your quality of life, encompassing factors like health, safety, and education. Stable, adequate housing that fulfills a household's needs fosters connections among neighbors, reduces crime rates, and cultivates a sense of pride. However, the absence of safe, reliable, and efficient housing can lead to negative outcomes, causing neighborhoods to decline as residents move elsewhere and businesses suffer or close down.
