Published: May 5, 2024 by VPR Producer

Even if you earn $100,000 per year, in most places across the U.S., this salary isn’t enough to be able to own a home. The housing crisis isn’t just affecting people in the lower class these days; it’s hitting individuals and families solidly in the middle class. Viewpoints speaks with two housing experts about this crisis and what towns, cities and fed-up residents are doing to create more affordable housing.
