The Delaware State Housing Authority's "Affordable Housing Resource Center" is a resource for local
government officials and public viewers to learn about their community's housing needs. This center
includes information on affordable housing initiatives happening in Delaware and throughout the
Country. This resource center was created in response to the recent housing boom and resulting escalation in housing prices. Due to rising home prices, many working individuals and families have been left behind. This trend is seen nationwide. Over 3.7 million working families in the United States are confronted with critical housing problems. Comparatively few new homes have been developed affordable to what is termed as Delaware's "workforce households" with incomes below 100 percent of the median income, based on HUD 2006, 100% median income is $67,500. This is occurring at a time when Federal resources for housing have been scaled back. As a result, it is becoming increasingly important that state, county, and local municipalities have meaningful strategies to encourage affordable housing. This site offers links to resources for communities to use for housing. To navigate around the website, use the links in the left menu. |
