America’s housing crunch– a Guardian series

Independent reporting on surging home sale and rent prices in the US, and high homelessness rates, and what this means for racial justice, public health, child development and public policy

This series focuses on the crisis of housing affordability in the US. It is supported, in part, through philanthropic funding to theguardian.org, a US-based foundation that partners with the Guardian on independent editorial projects. Support for this project comes from Melville Charitable Trust.

All of the journalism is editorially independent, commissioned and produced by our Guardian journalists. You can read more about content funding on the Guardian here. A full list of philanthropically supported editorial projects can be found here.
