    In this ongoing time of crisis, creating affordable housing options is more urgent than ever. Social distancing, though crucial for public health and safety, is a luxury that many cannot afford. For every celebrity tweeting #StayHome and singing in their mask on Instagram, there are dozens more regular folx crammed into small spaces with roommates coming and going. And there are even more who have no place to shelter in at all.
