hSum Report
NEW: 2009 hSum Report Released: December 2010
HousingLink is pleased to announce the 2009 hSum Report: the latest in a series of yearly reports providing a comprehensive count of the previous year's tenant- and unit-based rental assistance, summarized by geography. In this year's report, we find the following things:
- There were 80,178 subsidized housing opportunities, both unit- and tenant-based, in the Twin Cities metro area in 2009.
- 50,103 of those opportunities were targeted for households making less than 30% of the area median income (AMI).
- By contrast, there were 151,788 metro households making less than 30% of the AMI in 2009.
Subsidized rental opportunities exist for 33% of Twin Cities households that make less than 30% of the area median income. This 67% represents the "Opportunity Gap," of gap between supply and demand of housing targeted to households making less than 30% of the AMI.
For more information, see the entire report here.
hSum is a joint project of the Interagency Stabilization Group (a multi-jurisdiction group of affordable housing funders) and HousingLink.
