AVESTA HOUSING......
Our mission is to improve lives and strengthen communities by promoting and providing quality affordable homes for people in need.
The Affordable Housing Crisis
Affordable rental homes continue to be in short supply, and renters face high and ever-rising costs.
There is no state or county in the U.S. where a renter working full-time at minimum wage can afford a two-bedroom apartment. Housing availability has shrunk to record lows while rental costs have increased dramatically. The magnitude of the affordable housing crisis we are currently facing calls for bold and innovative solutions. Avesta Housing is working to meet that challenge.
