A senior on Social Security walks into an 'affordable housing' office and is quoted rent she can't afford.

Summary

The video claims that advertised affordable senior housing often rents for $1,200–$1,700 per month, which exceeds what many seniors on fixed incomes can pay. It presents a scenario of a 72-year-old woman with a $1,900 monthly Social Security check being quoted $1,350 for an affordable unit.
