Aurora Art Exhibit Focuses on Housing Insecurity

A new art exhibit at the Aurora History Museum depicts the lives of those who are living in hotels or their cars, in addition to those living on the street. The goal of the exhibit is to show the reality and humanity of the homeless. Housing insecurity has increased in Aurora where CAR reports show the median sale price of a single-family home in Colorado was $532,800 in November, an 18.5% increase from the same time last year. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city has reached an average high of $1,556. “The number one reason people lose their housing and are living in their cars, they tell us, is the cost of housing,” Cheryl Baker-Hauck, co-founder of the Colorado Safe Parking Initiative.
