This episode of Shoresides delves into the growing affordable housing crisis in Brunswick County, North Carolina. We sat down with Sally Learned of Brunswick Partnership for Housing to learn more about challenges and solutions to affordable housing.
Despite being employed, many residents are unable to make enough money to afford rent, forcing them into unstable living situations such as living in their cars, motels, or RVs. Doubling up in homes or couch surfing has become a solution for many people.
Host Nick Magrino highlights a recent report from the National Low Income Housing Commission, which reveals that North Carolinians need to make nearly $4 more per hour than last year to afford a moderate apartment. Brunswick County, reflecting a national trend, faces an increasingly dire housing situation, pushing many wage earners into homelessness.
This episode explores the community’s struggle to secure affordable housing amidst these challenges, shedding light on a critical issue impacting everyday lives in coastal North Carolina.
Produced and hosted by Nick Magrino.
