🫡@NLIHC's research finding that renters need to earn $31.71 to afford a 2-bedroom apartment in RI.
This aligns with EPI's Rhode Island Standard of Need, which found that renters would need to make $33.20 an hour to afford a 2-bedroom apartment. bit.ly/3GJGGWi
This translates into an hourly Housing Wage of $31.71, according to this year's Out of Reach report, released yesterday by the @NLIHC. The average renter in R.I. earns just $18.22/hour.
