Housing
The Housing Gap in Champaign, Vermilion counties
The income of residents in Champaign and Vermilion counties has not kept pace with the increase of rent and as a result affordable housing is becoming harder to find.
Champaign and Vermilion counties have seen many changes in their neighborhoods and housing stocks since the nation’s economic decline. Among the challenges: more renters are competing for safe and affordable housing; a growing demand is putting stress on existing assistance programs; people sometimes have strong, often negative perceptions of low-income housing.
Illinois Public Media and CU-CitizenAccess.org are taking a comprehensive look at housing issues during a day of programming Tuesday, March 27, on WILL-AM 580, WILL-TV and online.
