The Affordable Housing Act is a legislative measure aimed at increasing the availability of affordable housing options for low- and moderate-income families. It provides funding and incentives for the construction and rehabilitation of affordable homes, ensuring that more people have access to safe and stable living conditions. Additionally, the act encourages local governments to adopt policies that promote affordable housing development, such as zoning reforms and tax incentives. By addressing the housing crisis, the Affordable Housing Act seeks to reduce homelessness and improve the overall quality of life for communities across the country.
