Rent burden strains more than three-quarters of low-income seniors in California, study finds
“More than three-quarters of California’s low-income seniors are financially burdened by rent, according to a new fact sheet from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. Low-income seniors who rent—numbering more than half a million—can be forced to move far from their established social and medical networks to find rentals they can afford; they may end up in substandard housing; or—at worst—homeless, according to authors of the study.”
