housing crisis

A housing crisis occurs when there is a significant mismatch between the demand for affordable homes and their availability. This can happen due to factors like rising property prices, stagnant wages, and insufficient housing supply. As a result, many people struggle to find affordable places to live, leading to increased homelessness, overcrowding, and financial strain. The crisis can be exacerbated by economic shifts, population growth, and lack of government intervention. Addressing it requires coordinated efforts across housing policy, urban planning, and community support to ensure everyone has access to safe and affordable housing.
