It’s probably safe to say that many people won’t feel too sad with 2020 in the rearview. After all, it was quite a tough year for many of us financially, which made it hard to make ends meet.
At AHR, we’ve done our best to give you resources to navigate not only 2020 rough patches, but also the future. For a recap of what our readers turned to most, have a look:
Housing
When the coronavirus appeared on the scene, shutdowns soon followed. And once businesses closed, people lost their jobs and income.
This made it impossible for many to pay the rent or their mortgage. And while the government stepped in to stop evictions, plenty still fear an uncertain future when it comes to housing.
What can make housing more affordable? The Section 8 program and its Housing Choice Vouchers. Here are some of our most popular pieces on the topic from the past year:
