It is a desperate time for many Americans struggling to keep a roof over their heads. Just outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Erica Duvall often feels like keeping up with the rent on the one-bedroom apartment she shares with her 9-year-old daughter is an "impossible" task.
"I definitely make the most money that I've ever made…and it's still not enough to keep up," the single mom said. Duvall said her rent went up $100 when she renewed her lease in December, and she expects a similar hike this winter.
