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. Support the showwww.shoresides.org
