What Funders Need to Know about Affordable Housing
 To be considered affordable, a household needs to spend less than 30% of its income on housing costs. As you can imagine, that's really hard to do in our region. In WRAG's new installment of our What Funders Need to Know series, we take a detailed look at local housing - what it costs, how transportation factors in, what it means to live in different parts of our region. Then we discuss what our future looks like if we don't fix this problem, and what funders can do to get involved.
