What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

Global research spanning 22 countries found that three in four people have cut back on at least one expense in the past year to afford housing costs. In the United States, a severe housing shortage requires building at least 14 million homes over the next decade to meet demand. Meanwhile, rising costs for groceries, insurance, and heating oil in rural Ireland have led to public dissatisfaction with the government.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The strain on household finances means that a significant portion of people are reducing spending on food or dipping into savings to cover housing costs. In the United States, the shortage is driving up housing costs and preventing many potential buyers from entering the market.
