Housing Crisis

The Reality of Affordability

Across the United States, millions of individuals and families are struggling to find stable, affordable housing. Skyrocketing rental prices, stagnant wages, and a shortage of affordable units have created an unprecedented housing crisis. As demand far outpaces supply, low-income renters are being pushed further into financial distress, facing difficult choices between rent, food, healthcare, and other basic needs. In Los Angeles, the crisis is even more severe.
