When Rent Rises, Dinner Disappears

The single dad next door just got hit with a $150 rent increase. He works two jobs, yet his kids rely almost entirely on school free lunches for warm meals. He himself eats peanut-butter sandwiches for lunch. Yesterday he asked if FoodRadar had any new pickup spots because their fridge is basically empty. Rent keeps rising while paychecks stay flat—too many families are living like this. #HousingCrisis #FoodInsecurity #WorkingPoor #CostOfLiving
