A recent statewide study of homelessness in California, found that the majority of people had lost their living spaces due to rising rent.

"The study found that for most of the participants, the cost of housing had simply become unsustainable. Participants reported a median monthly household income of $960 in the six months prior to their homelessness, and most believed that either rental subsidies or one-time financial help would have prevented their homelessness."
Wonder what is causing rent to rise...
