Goal: Increase the availability of safe and affordable housing
Why Is This Important?
Why is this important?
Safe and affordable housing gives individuals and families a sense of privacy, security, stability, and protection from harmful exposures and environmental hazards (Taylor, 2018). Households that spend more than 30% of their gross income on housing are considered cost-burdened and may not have enough money to cover their essential needs such as medical care or nutritious food (AMCHP, 2014). Substandard housing conditions such as decayed plumbing, poor ventilation, insufficient kitchen facilities and pest infestations have a negative impact on health. With 16.1% of Stanislaus County residents living below the federal poverty level, many county residents do not have the income to pay market-rate rents which limits their access to safe and affordable housing, making housing a major public health concern.
Housing and Homelessness in Stanislaus County
In Stanislaus County, 35% of households with a mortgage and 56.2% of renting households spent more than 30% of their income on housing (U.S. Census, 2020). Stanislaus Countywide Homeless Continuum of Care conducts a one-day, point-in-time census and survey of individuals experiencing homelessness. In 2018, it was estimated that there were 1,356 people experiencing homelessness in Stanislaus County, making them high risk for poor physical and mental health. (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 2019).
