Report: Orlando ties for the country’s second-worst affordable housing shortage

ORLANDO, Fla. – Once again, Orlando is one of the country’s worst major metros for housing affordability, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s annual GAP report.

This year, the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metro area tied for second place on the coalition’s list of cities suffering from the most severe rental housing shortages for extremely low-income renters. Orlando shares the second-place slot this year with Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Ca.. In each of the two cities, only 18 affordable rental homes are available for every 100 of the area’s poorest renters.
