 * The article's lead section is effective as it provides a definition of the topic and a concise overview. Its content is well organized with subtopics including definition and measurement, economics, and so on. Although, while the titles of the sections are well organized and provide a professional direction to the article, the information itself can be greatly improved. For example, in the first section "Definition and measurement" it states "in Australia, the National Affordable Housing Summit Group developed their definition of affordable housing as housing that is "...reasonably adequate in standard and location for lower or middle income households and does not cost so much that a household is unlikely to be able to meet other basic needs on a sustainable basis." Affordable housing in the United Kingdom includes..." By the use of the word measurement, and the examples of Australia and the UK, perhaps this was created by someone who is international. I would edit this to simply provide a clear definition of affordable housing and relate it to the United States. Also, there are two sections, "Affordable Housing and Urbanization" and "Social and Environmental Impacts", both are very short and could be added to in depth. The photos are also very mediocre. The article's talk page provides a list of changes that should be made. I plan to rely on that in addition to my own review in my editing.
