More than three years after Wall Street's recklessness crashed the economy, affordable housing options remain out of reach for many in communities throughout the state. The report highlights the surprising number of vacant bank-owned properties, which combined with high foreclosure rates and rent increases, has led to a full-blown housing crisis that continues unabated.
New data in the report includes city-level data on the following trends contributing to the housing crisis:
* Steady number of foreclosures
* High volume of vacant bank-owned properties
* Increasing numbers of homeless
* Surging rental rates
