‘It can absolutely happen to anybody'

Rhode Island Report

In December, Globe RI’s Alexa Gagosz wrote a story about the Strong family – Holly, Kiel, and their four children. They’re middle-class Rhode-Islanders – with jobs – who spiraled into homelessness last year. In their search for housing, they've spent more than $40,000 on hotel rooms and more than $5,000 on rental application fees. They're still living in a hotel. Ed Fitzpatrick talks to Holly and Alexa about the family's story and how it's become emblematic of Rhode Island's housing crisis. Tips and ideas? Email us at [e-mail].
