HOME: Our Stories of Housing Insecurity

These are our stories, stories told by IKAR community members about how it feels to struggle with the high cost of affording a place to live. For some of us, housing instability was caused by the breakup of a relationship we had to leave, for others, because of an illness or disability, and for some, simply because the rents keep going up and pay is not keeping pace. We’re telling these stories because we at IKAR are committed to working together for systemic change in our housing policy. Homes end homelessness, and homes are what we all need to feel a measure of safety and security.  

We hope you’ll feel inspired to share our stories with friends and we hope that you’ll join us in our work for building more homes.
