High Housing Costs Force Many Employed People into Homelessness

December 15, 2024

Qneshia Tweedy is a mother-of-three who worked as a district manager for a newspaper until the company downsized – leaving her without a job. Now, she works seven days a week as an online delivery worker but doesn’t make enough to make ends meet. Her story is like many others in the country. They work full-time jobs but can’t afford the high cost of housing – forcing them into homelessness. In the first installment of a two-part series, correspondent Jessica Gomez travels to Knoxville, Tennessee to speak to Tweedy and others in need of affordable housing.
