For low-income workers striving to work th … For low-income workers striving to work their way up to a middle-class standard of living, the soaring cost of housing—for renters as well as owners—is a daunting obstacle. More than one out of every seven American households spends more than half their income just to keep a roof over their heads.

In this case, the market has simply failed to meet a critical human need. This legislation provides a streamlined means for the public to fund low-income housing that will not be created by any other means. Channeling funds through states and localities provides the flexibility to meet local needs, while the strong federal criteria for the types of projects that are eligible ensures that the trust will benefit those who need it most.
