About Us
At Affordable Housing 411, we’re on a mission to revolutionize accessibility to affordable housing. Our primary objective is to present a comprehensive, user-friendly platform that provides clear, actionable information about a myriad of affordable housing options and beneficial government programs.
Our platform goes beyond merely presenting housing options. We’ve tailored it to filter options based on users’ eligibility criteria and preferred location, ensuring a personalized experience. This approach simplifies the process, saving time and effort by showing options that directly align with users’ unique needs.
The (brainchild) concept originated by dedicated founders deeply concerned about housing insecurity, Affordable Housing 411 is their passionate response to a pressing societal issue. They’ve committed significant time, energy, and financial resources to assist individuals and families grappling with the challenge of securing affordable rental homes.
In recent years, the U.S. has seen an average annual rent increase of approximately 3%. However, the COVID-19 outbreak triggered an alarming 40% rise in rental prices in major cities, far outstripping median income growth. This situation has intensified the already daunting affordable housing crisis, placing even more strain on families working to keep up.
Our founders refuse to accept the alarming homelessness rates in the United States, a country blessed with substantial resources. They firmly believe that everyone should have access to stable, affordable housing in such a developed nation. By offering up-to-date information about government programs and available properties, our platform aims to empower individuals and families to secure affordable housing options, thereby breaking the relentless cycle of homelessness.
Affordable Housing 411 provides a free service, maintaining a firm commitment to privacy by never selling user data. We do feature advertisements on our website, which contribute to the financial support needed to maintain our services.
We (endeavor) strive to provide a wealth of information, offering phone numbers, maps, addresses, images, and emails wherever available. For prompt service, we recommend directly calling the apartments listed on our platform. Please be aware that many of these apartments have limited availability, so it’s beneficial to speak with apartment staff about potential waiting lists or alternative options.
