This Report Card was a team effort.

The St. Louis Affordable Housing Report Card quantifies the need for affordable housing in the St. Louis region and provides guidance on how to assess the impact of programs and policies supporting affordable housing. We know from prior research by For the Sake of All, that high quality and affordable housing access in the St. Louis region is a key driver of inequities. Driven by this fact, the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Coalition decided to dig further into the current state of affordable housing in St. Louis City and St. Louis County.

With generous support from Deaconess Foundation, this report card was commissioned by the Community Builders Network of Metro St. Louis for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Coalition. URBNRX served as the lead consultant on the project with support from Osiyo Design + Engagement. 

Thanks to generous support from FLOURISH St. Louis, over the coming months, Blackrock Consulting will be conducting Report Card engagement sessions in targeted geographies experiencing the greatest levels of infant mortality, which are nearly all predominantly Black neighborhoods.
