A distant family member, 80 years old, long-widowed and without children, almost became homeless in Florida due to rapidly rising rents in the town she has lived in since the ‘80s. She never bought a house or condo, and the company where she worked part time as an admin assistant folded last year.
The landlord gave her six months’ notice, which I thought was generous, but she ultimately did not secure alternate housing there within per price range of $1,300/mo. She has moved to senior housing near her older brother in the midwest, but where she otherwise has no connections. It’s a sad final chapter.
