      For too long, affordable housing has been treated like a luxury, rather than a basic need. When folks can’t afford to stay in their home, they’re forced to choose between food, medicine, and a roof over their head. No one in Florida should have to make that kind of choice.

      The less affordable housing gets, the more unstable our communities become. In fact, studies show unstable housing conditions lead to health risks, higher rates of crime, poor academic performance, psychological costs, and the loss of community.

      In Florida, around 7 in 10 of low-income renters pay more than 40% of their income to rent. To make matters worse, the growth of low-income renters in Florida has far outpaced the creation of new affordable housing units. http://www.shimberg.ufl.edu/fl_housingNeeds.html …

      Now, Florida is experiencing an influx of people coming from Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria, inflaming an already troubled affordable housing problem — a problem compounded by mistakes made at the state level.

          Over the years, the state government in Florida has siphoned money away from trust funds designed to increase the supply of affordable housing—using that that money instead for other purposes. That’s shortsighted and it hurts hardworking Floridians.

          Without meaningful support for affordable housing at all levels of government, we risk condemning a whole lot of Americans and Floridians to a life of distress and despair.

          That’s why I was happy to be here today for the ribbon cutting at this new affordable housing option for seniors in Melbourne. It’s a step in the right direction, and very much needed in this community.
