CLEVELAND — Learning the price behind"for rent" and"for sale" signs is often dreadful nowadays and finding a home in your price range to buy is rough as interest rates rise.
Julie Wisneski, who is with The United Way says it’s getting a lot of calls from people with no housing options. According to our partners at the Akron Beacon Journal, Ohioans need to make roughly $17 dollars an hour to afford rent and only four of the 10 occupations with the most employees in Ohio make more than that wage.
As Americans juggle this housing issue, while trying to make wages meet and pay for everything else, organizations like United Way have a 2-1-1 help line for assistance, and Community Legal Aid helps renters and home owners find solutions too.
