Calls for immediate and comprehensive action to address the issue of housing availability and affordability

This resolution (HR 552) recognizes Missouri's severe housing affordability crisis, citing a shortage of 150,000 rental units for extremely low-income renters and 40% of renters spending over 30% of income on housing. It urges the Missouri General Assembly to prioritize policies like zoning reforms, expanded rental assistance, and increased funding for affordable housing development. The resolution does not create new law but calls for immediate action to address the crisis affecting low-income families, seniors, and vulnerable populations statewide. It is a non-binding request directed at lawmakers and stakeholders.
