Lincoln is facing a crisis.
It’s up to everyone to confront it.
Housing is unaffordable for 46% of Lincolnites who rent at all income levels.
21,655 Lincoln households are cost-burdened by their housing.
85% of extremely low-income families spend more than one-third of their income on rent.
Lincoln must address these issues before they become worse.
