Today is International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Dignity for all in practice is this years theme. We recognize the many people suffering from poverty and those that strive and work to end the cycle. It is our shared responsibility to eradicate poverty + discrimination. https://t.co/55e8FIB9fW

Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Affordable housing is a critical component of eradicating poverty. Did you know for housing to be considered affordable it must cost less than 30% of a household's income before tax?
