Low-income housing, affordable housing, work force housing. Everyone "knows what that means." Of course, they have probably forgotten that they themselves would have likely once fallen into that category, or a parent, or someone they know. Well, and that is actually two issues. Affordable, in one sense, is less than 80% of the county median (thanks for the definition, CDBG folks). In another sense, affordable housing is generally considered as housing that will cost 30-40% of household income.
