Many low-income individuals struggle to find affordable housing. A man who donates blood plasma for income finds that even a tiny home with limited amenities is unaffordable. He earns only a few hundred dollars a month, making it difficult to secure a place to live.

Some affordable housing units sit empty, with over 4,500 such units in one city having nearly 16% vacancies. The majority of low-income housing is financed for those earning 50% of the area's median income or above.

Further details on this issue are available, including the experiences of those affected and the current state of affordable housing.
