In Search Of A Home ---- The REAL **Housing Crisis** [View All]

[bobbolink]

"Bill and Gwen are on a list for public housing. What they don't know is that 200,000 names are onthe list ahead of theirs. They believe that, if they do things right, they will soon be living in a project. What they do not know is that the waiting period is eighteen years. Driven by economic forces she cannot control and is not sufficiently informed to understand, Gwen obeys the rules, fills out the forms, goes each day to search for an apartment she cannot afford, diligently combing a diminished housing market in which minimal rents exceed the limit she's permitted by at lear $100. Like a well-conditioned animal within a research lab, she pursues each channel of improbability that is presented. Every channel she explores returns her to the place where she began."
