Today's #RentalHousingIndex release is a brutal reminder of what young people (+others) face + why #housing is a defining #elxn43 issue:

Nearly a quarter of renters under 30 are at a "crisis level of spending" with half or more of income going to rent.

@InclusionBC Thank you for the shout-out! We are grateful for your support and your work.

For low-income renters w/ #disabilities, recent work by @rightfitproject found the biggest housing gap is for singles who need wheelchair #accessible subsidized units in urban areas near transit. Some wait a decade, many youth stuck in seniors' institutions.
