Comments: How we help our communities thrive is very important. From housing, schools to jobs, all these factors affect health. I talked to a family of 5, with four working adults with minimum wage in San Jose who is renting a two-bedroom apartment for $1800 per month. Giving away half of their income to housing is very sad. The parents have high blood pressure and high stress level. But they have to bear this housing crisis and expense in order to help support their children who are going to college as working students.
