households had a home ownership rate of 77 , researchers wrote, citing US Census Housing Vacancy Survey data The increase in home values and record low interest rates during the heart of the pandemic

homelessness as a result of that, which is already increasing in many communities, said Sarah Saadian, senior vice president of public policy for the National Low Income Housing Coalition, adding that
