Between 2021 and 2024, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/census-data-biden-grows-foreign-born-population-by-nearly-2m-in-last-year\/\" title=\"Census Data: Biden Grows ... by Nearly 2M in Last Year\">foreign-born population grew<\/a> by more than 6 million-the fastest in U.S. history-reaching over 53 million people. this influx has disproportionately affected low-income renters, increasing competition for affordable housing and placing upward pressure on rental costs. The report highlights that in some markets, immigration accounts for nearly all the recent growth in housing demand. Because housing supply is slow to adjust, reducing demand may be more effective than focusing solely on increasing supply. The report also cautions against demand-side subsidies, which may inadvertently raise prices further by increasing demand without addressing supply constraints. the growth of non-citizen households is a key factor in the affordable housing shortage in the U.S.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>When the Biden administration allowed unprecedented numbers of immigrants to enter the United States, housing prices rose as an immediate and direct result.<\/p>\n<p>The biennial &ldquo;Worst Case Housing Needs&rdquo;
