SUMMARY: As the legislative session approaches, Mississippi’s House and Senate housing committees convened to discuss affordable housing. The Mississippi Center for Justice highlighted that one-third of homeowners and 53% of renters spend over 30% of their income on housing, identifying a need for 50,000 additional affordable homes. Senator John Horn emphasized challenges in finding starter and workforce housing, particularly for those on limited incomes. He expressed hopes that upcoming legislation in January would address these issues, along with minimum wage concerns, to ensure Mississippians receive a livable wage.
