Tell us: have you struggled with the US housing crisis?

With the US in the midst of a housing shortage, you may be one of the millions of Americans wondering how it became so difficult to find a place to live.

With the number of affordable housing options shrinking, and costs spiking since the pandemic, the days when people could find a place to rent or buy on a median/modest salary are increasingly distant.

As part of our new series, Through the roof, we’re asking readers to tell us about finding a place to live in America, and your housing expectations versus the reality.

If we plan to include your submission in our reporting, we will get in touch with you before we publish.
