Alexis: “We lost our house, me and my husband, and we got two kids, two boys, and…Well I don't like to talk about it but basically we lost our place ‘cause of an eviction. My kids are now with my sister and they’re basically gonna be staying there until we get a place to put a roof over our head. We’ve been staying at the shelter downtown in LA and we wake up at 6:00am in the morning and we come out and we go on the internet, we go to places to look for housing… We got married in 2014. It’s making me cry more and it’s making him more humble to deal with the situation but the frustration of looking for housing is very hard. They want you to make either three or five times [the income over the monthly rent]. It’s devastating because… a studio could cost you nine hundred, a one-bedroom could cost you twelve hundred, and a two-bedroom could cost you fifteen to sixteen hundred. I don’t know why the rent in LA has went up so high. I’m accustomed to when… it used to be for a two-bedroom like eight or nine hundred dollar.s And now it has gone up so fast, I don’t even know what’s going on.” The Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition help people like Alexis.
