Did you know that more than half of Harris County renters are "cost burdened" by rising rent prices? According to a new report by Kinder Institute, rent prices are outpacing household incomes, leaving renters struggling to make ends meet. The report also found that nearly 90% of single-parent renter households spend a significant portion of their income on rent.
 
"One of the big takeaways is that these disparities, they're not just about housing," said Stephen Sherman, a research scientist with the Kinder Institute. "It's also a childcare issue. It's also about food. It's also about the job market and how much jobs are paying."
