Summary

A growing number of Americans are seeking shelter in budget motels due to rising rents and home prices, with families experiencing cramped, unstable living conditions.

In New York’s Hudson Valley, over 550 families with children lived in motels in 2023, a 21% increase from 2018.

High costs, safety concerns, and limited housing options make escaping this cycle difficult.

Advocacy groups warn motels are an unsustainable solution as housing costs outpace wages, while waitlists for subsidized housing and vouchers remain long.
