THAT is how you know how many more affordable housing units your community needs to produce. THAT is how you predict how many people are at-risk of homelessness.

Raising wages without simultaneously lowering or limiting rent costs is like pouring more water into a pail with a hole in it. One without the other doesn't guarantee a net gain for those in need.
We need a way to create or incentivize affordable housing which has its rent tied to the incomes of people who are living at 50% of Area Median Income or less. And we need a way to match the DEMAND (total number of people at that level) with the SUPPLY (total number of units affordable to those people).
