Struggles of Finding Housing in Butte County
Butte County faces a significant housing crisis, particularly for lower-income households. Individuals like Peter express frustration at the lack of availability, often finding that listings are either out of reach financially or have already been rented. Ed Mayer, former executive director of the Butte County Housing Authority, confirms that the vacancy rate was alarmingly low at around half a percent, making it exceedingly difficult for anyone in need of a home.
