We need rental cap and protections. I can't afford rent anywhere in Charleston SC as a senior citizen so I am homeless. I have to couch hop and try my best to just stay out the way. I tried to a renter but my fixed income and off jobs just don't cut it to get past the application red tape. I'll be 70 soon and I'm not sure where I'll be. I hope my kids can help house me but they're also struggling as tenants. Re tak caps for federally backed properties would be good and Enforce existing laws that prohibit landlords from denying a tenant rental housing based on race, physical or mental ability, and family make-up, and expand protections to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, immigration status, conviction and/or arrest history, bankruptcy history, eviction history, or credit score.
