RT @JosephLindstrom The rent has gotten too high not just for minimum wage earners, but for the average wage earner. And that's the ONE bedroom housing wage. Imagine being a parent and a renter. #OOR19 pic.twitter.com/DzPY…

RT @dianeyentel 7 out of 10 of jobs projected by the US Dept of Labor to have the greatest growth over the next 10 pay less than what you need to earn to afford to rent a 1BR apartment. reports.nlihc.org/oo… #OOR19 pic.twitter.com/rHui…
