The number of affordable housing units set to be delivered nationally will rise nearly 13 percent this year from 2024, according to a new report from research firm Yardi Matrix.
Yardi Matrix anticipates some 78,300 units to be delivered this year. That’s compared to the almost 70,000 affordable units that were completed in 2024.
