KEY POINTS

On Mental Breakthroughs, Jessica Reyes talks with Susan Davidson, Vice President of Resident Services for Affordable Homes & Communities, about the positive impact of affordable housing on residents.

Meeting Higher-Level Needs

Having a safe and affordable place to live is a key factor in overall well-being. When housing costs are manageable – no more than 30% of your income – it opens up opportunities to focus on other important aspects of life beyond just basic needs.

Affordable Housing & Thriving Communities

The lack of affordable accommodations negatively impacts both mental and physical health. Davidson is committed to addressing this by expanding access to affordable housing for Americans. Additionally, they recognize the importance of “service-enriched” housing, which provides additional support services, as a crucial element in fostering healthy communities.
