We are excited to announce the launch of  Your Housing Advocate (YHA), a non-profit agency led by Becky Gligo, a longtime collaborator of Affordablehousing.com. YHA’s mission is to provide accessible, data-driven resources and support for landlords and tenants in the United States' affordable housing market. YHA’s goal is to foster stability, promote equity, and build partnerships to enhance the quality of life for all involved in affordable housing.

YHA’s role is crucial in addressing homelessness. With a 12% increase in homelessness reported by HUD in 2023 and rents rising faster than wages, the link between homelessness and affordable housing is clear. YHA will expand Affordablehousing.com tools to address this urgent need in CoCs and municipalities. Creating transparent pathways to permanent housing is crucial for long-term stability of affected individuals.

The YHA team will partner with Affordablehousing.com on three key areas: a common application for affordable housing, technical assistance for non-profit and government entities, and outreach and education.
