Priced Out:

The Housing Crisis for
People with Disabilities

According to TAC’s ongoing data analysis, there is no United States housing market in which a person living solely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can afford a safe, decent apartment without rental assistance. Lacking access to affordable housing, many people with disabilities are forced into costly and segregated nursing facilities or state hospitals, homelessness, or incarceration.

Here, we provide regularly updated information on this crisis for use in your local and national  advocacy efforts.

Priced Out in the United States

There are

3,917,414

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients with disabilities between the ages of 18 and 64.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is only

$1,009

per month.

The average rent for a basic one-bedroom apartment is

$1,467

per month, or 145% of a disabled person's income, leaving no money for food, transportation, clothing, or other necessities.

This is not affordable.

It's no wonder there are

771,480

individuals living on the streets and shelters – and too many stuck in expensive institutions at a cost of $294 – $895 per day.
