Finding a decent, affordable place to call home was an ongoing challenge for Donyelle, a public school employee for 37 years. “We were really in need of better housing,” Donyelle says.
Nearly 19 million households across the United States are spending at least half of their income on a place to live, often foregoing basic necessities like adequate food and health care to make ends meet.
