Did you know?
The average rent in Lake County for a 2 bedroom is $2100 and a 3 bedroom is $2700 per month. Landlords often require a tenant to make 3 times the rental cost, in order to ensure the tenant can live comfortably and pay their rent. That means that a family would need to make a minimum of $75,600 for a 2-bedroom and $97,200 for a 3-bedroom. Imagine a single parent or a family coming out of a hard season financially due to medical issues or a parent losing their job. Add generational poverty, traumatic events and systemic complexities to the mix, and it's near impossible to keep your head above water.
