Challenges in Affordable Housing
Affordability remains one of the biggest challenges in the rental market of Florida. With the fast rise in home prices and rental rates, many peope in Florida are struggling to find affordable housing.

Also, the sunshine state has been dealing with a shortage of affordable housing, especially in high-demand areas such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando. This trend is expected to continue as the cost of land and construction materials remains high, limiting the development of new affordable housing projects.
