A lack of affordable housing and the limited scale of housing assistance programs are the primary causes of homelessness. The growing gap between the number of affordable housing units and the number of people needing them has created a housing crisis for poor people.
Overall, 14.4 million families have critical housing needs.
Between 1973 and 1993, 2.2 million low-rent units disappeared from the market. These units were either abandoned, demolished, converted into condominiums or expensive apartments, or became unaffordable because of cost increases (Daskal, 1998).
At the same time, the number of low-income renters increased, due to factors such as eroding employment opportunities and the declining value and availability of public assistance.
In 1999, there were only 4.9 million rental units affordable and available to 7.7 extremely low income renter households; a shortage of 2.8 million units (According to the 1999 American Housing Survey).
It would take annual production of more than 250,000 units for more than 20 years to close the housing affordability gap (According to the Millennial Housing Commission).
In 1997, 3 million low to moderate income working families spent more than 1/2 of their income on housing. By 2001 this number had jumped to 4.8 million - a 67% increase.
More recently, rents have soared, putting housing out of reach for the poorest Americans.
Between 1995 and 1997, the number of housing units that rent for less than $300, adjusted for inflation, declined from 6.8 million in 1996 to 5.5 millio"

Whenever there is a post regarding 3D printing of homes, we are tagged by friends and colleagues to respond to the advantages of moladi vs 3D Printing. We therefore want to make it quite clear that this post is published purely to summarise our take on the topic and to have the ability to reference these questions and statements without having to repeat what we see as inherent issues associated with the 3D printing process of houses. All of the numbers used for 3D printing cost purposes are assumed, as these cost are not readily available for the purpose of this cost example. We would invite any 3D printing entity to help with the actual numbers to take any guesswork out of the cost estimation.
