For more than 30 years, the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) has employed varying measures and data to assess the affordability and availability of rental housing for different income groups, which it publishes in The Gap report. The report also includes data on housing cost burden prevalence and examines the demographics, disability and work status, and other characteristics of the extremely low-income households most impacted by the national shortage of affordable and available rental homes.
