The Sacramento region has seen a surge in housing production, with over 12,500 new homes completed in 2024, but affordability remains a major issue as housing costs have risen faster than wages, leaving many households struggling to afford housing.
California households are facing the highest housing cost burdens in the nation, with one in five spending more than half of their income on shelter, according to an analysis of new Census Bureau data.
Time limits on housing assistance do not address the root cause of housing instability, which is a major contributor to poverty, and instead of reducing public costs, they can lead to increased costs downstream in emergency services, homelessness, foster care, health care, and incarceration.
