A look at the impact increased property prices have on Alaskan residents.

Across Alaska, it’s a challenge to find affordable housing. Homebuilding and vacancy rates are down, while rent, mortgage rates and home prices are up. The lack of affordable housing drives people into overcrowded homes and homelessness, or out of state. Some officials have begun referring to it as a housing crisis. Alaska Public Media's Jeremy Hsieh reports.
