New Affordable Housing Units Open in Lakeland – But the Housing Crisis Continues

After a year of a global health crisis and financial devastation, there is a little good news for Lakeland families. The Ledger reports that 132 affordable housing units are being made available at the Twin Lakes Estates in Lakeland. These units are available to residents earning 60 percent or less of the median household income in Polk County, which is $24,720 for an individual or $40,980 for a family of six.

Rent for these units is well below the market rate: $604 for a one-bedroom apartment, $730 for a two-bedroom, and $845 for a three-bedroom unit. There is, however, a lengthy waiting list already in place for these 132 units. This demand illustrates a larger problem: there is a serious lack of affordable housing in Lakeland, in Polk County, in Florida, and across the Nation. Many communities have addressed the problem with individual housing projects -including the Twin Lakes Estates. But there is a serious lack of affordable housing for Florida families, and the problem has only gotten worse with the coronavirus pandemic.
