Abstract
Today's housing disparities are rooted in the increasing commodification of housing taking precedence over shelter as a basic human right. With rising housing costs across the country, more residents devote a larger share of income to rent or mortgages, property taxes, and utilities, leaving less for essentials like food and medication. Housing is a determinant of health; to protect population health and equity, action is needed to prevent displacement, keep communities intact, and ensure cities thrive.
