National Low-Income Housing Coalition

THE NATIONAL LOW-INCOME Housing Coalition (NLIHC) is a membership advocacy and research organization “dedicated solely to solving America's affordable housing crisis.” The National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) estimated in 2003 that more than 14 million Americans faced “critical housing conditions, that housing relief could make the difference between housing security and insecurity but that demand exceeded supply, while housing rentals were increasing at a rate greatly outstripping rises in earnings.” As a result, it is clear that the need for affordable housing will increase in the future and that it will vary in intensity across the country. The NLIHC was established in 1974 to address the affordable housing issue through advocacy, research and dissemination of information, and organization of concerned individuals and groups to help further the policy agenda.
