With rising sea levels and increasing risks of floods throughout the country, there are nearly 24,500 affordable housing units at risk, according to a report published in the Environmental Research Letters journal. The country is already facing a shortage of more than 7 million affordable units, according to Fast Company, and climate change could intensify the situation even more. By 2050, nearly 24,500 affordable units could be at risk of flooding with a large portion experiencing more than four floods per year. And climate change puts many homes at risk, but affordable housing tends to be lower quality and older, reports the study’s researchers.
