Welcome to this edition of Abledon On Air, the one and only program that focuses on abilities despite the disabilities. I'm Lauren Seiler on this fantastic edition and educational edition of Abledon On Air. We go through the world housing crisis. How can we fix it and according to organizations like the World Economic Forum? I'm Lauren Seiler. Arlene's not here today. We focus on global housing and people with disabilities, people with special needs and all the world. Housing is a problem when you you know, are having a severe crunch. Let's get started. Well, this is according to 2022 data, but housing crisis is housing crisis, really. What has caused the global housing crisis? For more information on this article, you can go to www.weforumagenda.org. For slash 2022, what has caused the global housing crisis and how and how and how can we fix it? The housing crisis could impact or has impacted one point six billion people by 2025, according to the World Bank. Shortages of land lending labor and materials are some of the fueling factors of the housing crisis. The world needs to build 96,000 new affordable homes every day to to house the estimated three billion people. I'll repeat that again. Three billion people who need access to adequate housing by the year 2030, according to the UN Habitat, United Nations Habitat, which is similar to Habitat for humanity, but that deals with the United Nations, efforts to build more affordable homes are underway in countries, including the United States, India, Scotland and Africa. Housing is based on the human need, but lack of affordable housing to buy or rent or fueling a global housing crisis. By 2025, one point six billion people are expected to be affected by the global housing shortage, according to the World Bank. And as you can see, there's there's a graph here and who governs that. So in most countries, the cost of housing has grown faster than incomes data from the International Monetary Fund. A study shows 200 cities globally, 90 percent were found to be unaffordable to live in and an average costing income of more than three times the income average. The United States alone is short of one point five million homes. I'll repeat that again. The United States alone is short of one point five million homes, according to a study by the financial research company Moody's Analytics. The country has less housing for sale than rent anytime in the past 30 years. It finds a study overcoming a nation's daunting housing supply shortage. Now, according to this graph, which is health price to income ratio around the world, health price to income ratio around the world, housing prices have grown faster than incomes in most countries. According to a 2020 Q4 study that's available in the index 2000 between 2015 and 2023. And as you can see here, according to this graph by by the problems in the world, so the countries are down or across and then in which and then the graph is going up or up or down. So, you know, that presents a huge problem. What has caused the housing crisis? A shortage of land, lending labor and materials since the financial crisis of 2008 are the main causes of the US shortage in Moody study funds. This has given up cost cut profit margins builders can make and have less incentives to build homes, particularly lower price, housing, lower margins, mood analytics, say, say. Covid-19 is considered to have made a housing crisis worse as buyers and renters look for more space during lockdowns. Historically, low interest rates in many countries have made it cheap to borrow money. This has fulfilled the phenomenon. So for more information on this crisis, you can go to www.weform.org. That website was again is www.weform.org. W-E-F-O-R-U-M.org. What are the impacts of housing crisis? House prices globally have risen at a fast rate in the last 40 years as demand has been outstripped, supplied according to research from financial services firm JP Morgan. Rents are soaring in Europe. For example, rents across all home rents according to all home types have risen 14.5% in the first three months. And the first three months of this year finds the Housing Anywhere International Rent Index by City. So let me go to that situation so you can find it. It's Housing Anywhere International by City. So if you need housing, you can go to www.housinganywhere.com. That's www.housinganywhere.com. Housing Anywhere's rent index confirms consecutive slowdown. So it's basically, you know, dealing with business rent, so on and so forth. If you have a problem, you can contact this informational website and there are there's a website for that www.housinganywhere.com. That's www.housinganywhere.com. And so we'll be back after this public service announcement right after this. Stay tuned. Three, two, one. So welcome back. The most highly priced cities for rooms and studios. So if you look at this according to this graph here, for example, Amsterdam, which is a country, their price is two thousand two hundred dollars for a studio apartment and they can go from nine hundred and forty to one thousand five hundred and seventy. So, so forth. So if you have if you have anything you want to find about housing on this graph, so I'm going to pick a situation. So if you want to say go to Budapest, an apartment will cost you nine hundred and two dollars. A room would be three hundred. A room would be three hundred. Sorry. Yeah. A room would be three hundred and forty. Studios would be five hundred and fifty. That's the low end and then it can go into the high end as well. And again, if a place doesn't have a housing program, you usually sometimes can find, you know, find an apartment, so on and so forth. So for more information on this, you can go to www.housinganywhere. Housinganywhere, forward slash forward slash hold on, www.housinganywhere.com forward slash rent index. So, yeah, the housing crisis has been a severe problem for people with disabilities. Again, I'm giving you the website, www.capsstone.org, that's www.capsstonevt.org. If capstone, usually what they do is they give you like first month's rent, last month's rent, so on and so forth, so you can get yourself on your feet for this. And, you know, there's a housing graph, so I'm going to go over this again. If you have, according to this, depending on the money exchange, you have to make a certain amount of money to qualify for housing, public housing. So, let's go, for example, if you want to rent a studio apartment, yeah, so if you want to rent a studio apartment, it's a certain amount of money. If you want to rent a room, it's a certain amount of money. If you want to rent, you know, a regular apartment, instead of some special arrangements, you can check that out as well. And, you know, it's extremely important to find appropriate housing for people with disabilities. So, let's go to another website here. According to the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights recognizes the right adequate standard housing, standard living for which consists of housing and the right to security in the event of a disability. As a non-binding resolution adapted by the UN General Assembly and the U.S. State Party as the UDHR. So, let's go to this. According to the UNHR, and for more information on this, you can go to www.lawblogs.uc.edu and according to international law, in addition, international treaties are provided on the grounds for housing in the event of a disability. I was looking for that standard living which consists of housing and the right for security in the event of a disability as a non-binding resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly and the U.S. State Party of UDHR. However, the U.S. is not largely ratified. The legally binding treaties recognizing the right for adequate housing and the international covenant bill on the simple and political rights, ICCPR, which are U.S. ratified. According to this, the United States hasn't really done too much for people with housing. That's why we have a problem. Domestic practice. Unfortunately, these protections for persons with disabilities created by the United States are not adequate to implement or write adequate housing for persons with disabilities. In the U.S., 25%, only 25% of adults, 1 in 61 million people possess a disability. Among disabled individuals, 13.7% possess a mobility disability, 4.6% possess a vision disability and 3.6% have a healthcare-related disability. When reforming, and this is before we leave the show, when reforming legislation and policy to accommodate all types of disability, policy makers must accommodate for the needs of adults over 65 years old and older women and non-Hispanic Americans and Alaskan natives or at least 40% of the population group identified as disabled. In January of 2017, 24% of 87,000 individuals of people experiencing homelessness possessed a disability and experienced chronic homelessness. Chronic homelessness includes individuals who were homeless for at least a year or experienced at least four periods of homelessness, adding to 12 months in their lifetime. So for more information on that, you can go to www.LowBlogsUC.edu. That's LowBlogs.UC.edu. Housing is a human right, housing is a problem for people with disabilities and we must get this problem resolved, otherwise we'll have more homeless people in the streets than we want. Homeless people are people too, but when you don't have adequate housing, that presents an issue and it all comes down to money. When people with disabilities can't afford things, especially food and housing, it's a problem. This has been a program on the housing crisis and also a commentary on the housing crisis. I'm Lawrence Seiler, stay warm, get adequate housing and please call your local official when you're dealing with housing issues. I'm Lawrence Seiler, Arlene's not here today, thank you to our sponsors and partners. See you next time.
