As the cost of living continues to rise, many seniors in Arizona are feeling the strain, particularly when it comes to housing expenses. In a recent video by NBC News, correspondent Jacob Soboroff highlights the struggles that seniors in battleground Arizona face when it comes to affording a place to live.
Soboroff interviews several seniors who discuss the challenges they’ve encountered in finding affordable housing. One woman shares her experience of being forced to move multiple times due to rising rental costs, while another man speaks about the difficulty of living on a fixed income in a housing market that is increasingly unaffordable.
The video sheds light on the fact that seniors in Arizona are not only facing financial hardships, but also emotional and physical stress as they try to navigate the high cost of housing. Many are forced to make difficult decisions, such as cutting back on essentials like food and healthcare in order to keep a roof over their heads.
Overall, the video serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for affordable housing solutions for seniors in Arizona. As the population ages and housing costs continue to rise, it is clear that more needs to be done to support the most vulnerable members of our community.
