Generally, "affordable housing" is defined as housing made available to and affordable for very-low, low and moderate income persons and families. In most cases, affordable housing is produced and maintained with some level of financial assistance from Federal, state, or private sources. Affordable housing may include homeownership, rental housing, special needs housing, and housing for the homeless.
