‘It’s been a journey:’ Finding affordable housing continues to be a challenge in Central Florida

Population boom continues to put stress on state’s housing market.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida’s housing has not kept up with its population boom, and it’s even more dire when it comes to the availability of affordable housing.

Metro Orlando has the fourth-highest deficit in the United States with only 18 affordable units available for every 100 extremely low-income renters, according to a new report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
