Rent issues in NYC

Ever since Covid-19 rent in NYC has been at an all-time high, even for small apartments with one room. 62 % of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the high cost of renting. People in Elmhurst are struggling financially as a result of this problem. If a household spends more than 30% of its income on rent, it is said to be burdened. Individuals and families may experience financial strain and hardship, making it challenging to meet their basic necessities. A solution is to fund corporations that help people who are suffering from rent. For example, housing vouchers are a program that allows these families to live in peace and not have to live paycheck to paycheck. Housing vouchers will cover approximately half of their rent. By funding this program we can help more and more people in NYC who are suffering with rent.
