We study the action of the affine group $G$ of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ on the space $X_{k,\,d}$ of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces. Given a compactly supported Zariski dense probability measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ on $G$, we show that $X_{k,d}$ supports a $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$-stationary measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ if and only if the $(k+1)\text{th}$ Lyapunov exponent of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ is strictly negative. In particular, when $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ is symmetric, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ exists if and only if $2k\geq d$.
