The sad fact is that due economic setbacks (such as divorce), gendered financial disadvantage (such as caregiver responsibilities), illness, or historically low paid employment has meant the housing crisis and its worst social impacts have hit this demographic the hardest in recent years.

Housing is a human right, and building your own shelter is the ultimate act of liberation and empowerment.
