Big Govt Keeps Texans Houseless
A Texas teacher, Bill Atkinson, raised >$16k on GoFundMe to pay off debts after living in his car for months.
"Due to mistakes and bad luck my debts are too high...I can't get approved for an apartment or supplemental housing." — Atkinson
Single, unable to get teacher certification, & with a salary too high for gov't housing, he faced a catch-22.
Avg. TX teacher salary: $33-54k/yr.
