The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University released its 2016 State of the Nation’s Housing report this week, giving us a snapshot of the housing issues that plague many Americans. Affordable housing, strongly concentrated poverty and the seemingly insurmountable obstacles to homeownership make the top of the list.

On the bright side, the JCHS panelists and researchers concluded there are viable solutions to these issues — but they have to come from greater political involve inactive legislative measures from our leaders.

Researchers at loanDepot dug deeper into the issue of government and housing with their newest report on how candidates’ proposed housing platforms will impact voters’ decisions.

According to a survey involving 1,000 interviews of adults, 21 percent of voters said candidates’ policies on housing and finance will influence their vote in November. But candidates seem to be unaware of this influence — 36 percent of voters think they are “doing a bad job at articulating housing and finance policies.”

“People across the nation told us they want to hear more from the presidential candidates about their housing and financial policies on issues like income, access to credit, interest rates and affordable housing,” said loanDepot Chairman and CEO, Anthony Hsieh in a press release. “The candidate who does a good job in communicating their policies moving forward has an opportunity to influence millions of potential voters.”
