A surge in rents and home prices left more lower-income households with no place else to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n



KINGSTON, N.Y. \u2014 Melissa Krajewski used to come home from her job as a home health aide to the sounds of children pattering around the family\u2019s three-bedroom apartment. On weekends, she\u2019d bake with her two girls and watch her son and husband toss around the football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a routine, middle-class life she recounts like a distant memory. For nearly a year, Krajewski and her two daughters have been living in a budget motel room after their rent went up and they were unable to find another apartment they could afford in Kingston, New York, a small town among the rolling mountains of New York\u2019s Hudson Valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, their meals are prepared in a microwave or small toaster oven, their food stored in a mini fridge that doesn\u2019t have a working freezer and the dresser doubles as a pantry. The room has two full-size beds and a cot tucked in the corner where her 10-year-old daughter sleeps. The girls\u2019 few remaining possessions line the room \u2014 a dozen well-worn stuffed animals along the beds, a Barbie dollhouse adjacent to the bathroom, and two makeshift vanities where her 13-year-old daughter keeps a small box of beauty supplies and a mirror decorated with photos.\u00a0

She has done her best to make her motel room feel comfortable, covering the thin plaster walls with tapestries and homemade artwork. Days before Christmas, the room was adorned with two small tabletop Christmas trees, stockings tacked to the wall, a couple of handmade ornaments and two snow globes she had gotten out of storage at her mother-in-law\u2019s house. An Elf on the Shelf made its way around the cramped space each night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are a lot of things that you take for granted until you\u2019re in this situation; it\u2019s really hard to visualize or even imagine what it\u2019s like unless it happens to you,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to not be able to make a nice dinner for my kids. I miss the smell of cooking, I miss baking with my kids, just every little aspect of cooking a nice meal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the country, there are indications that a growing number of Americans have been turning to budget motels for shelter after a surge in rents and home prices in recent years left those on the lower end of the income spectrum with no place else to go. While motels can provide a warm place to sleep and an element of security, it\u2019s a form of housing with high costs and a low quality of living that can set individuals on a financial spiral nearly impossible for some to break out of, according to interviews with a dozen housing advocates and motel residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a trap, completely,\u201d said Carol Klocek, CEO of the Center for Transforming Lives, an advocacy group that works with homeless women and children in Tarrant County, Texas. \u201cThey\u2019re paying the equivalent of rent, if not higher rates. Your food storage is very difficult. There\u2019s higher daily costs of living. If you\u2019re in a motel, you just can\u2019t save, so once you\u2019re in there, it\u2019s hard to get out. It\u2019s just a reality, and I think it is very much a hidden reality.\u201d

‘Modest rents are gone’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A survey<\/a> by Transforming Lives of motel residents in the Fort Worth, Texas, area found that a majority of those living in motels were single mothers and about a third of children were under age 6. In some cases, multiple families were sharing a room, including one instance where three mothers and six children were living in a room with two beds and no kitchen. A third of the families surveyed had been living in motels for more than six months paying as much as $1,400 a month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, government housing programs gave out more than double the number of hotel and motel vouchers as they did in 2020, though the numbers were down slightly from 2022, according to data from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Education Department recorded 107,000 primary and secondary public school-age students living in hotels or motels during the 2021-2022 school year \u2014 a 20% increase from 2019-2020, according to the most recent data available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore and more people are struggling with rent, and when that happens, you see eviction filings go up, you see homelessness increase, and you see more people living precariously, which is how I would frame people living in extended stay hotels,\u201d said Sarah Saadian, senior vice president of public policy and field organizing at the National Low Income Housing Coalition. \u201cOftentimes, people will go to hotels and motels or double up or triple up with other family members, but for many those are just temporary solutions on the road towards homelessness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Hudson Valley area of New York, there were more than 550 families with children living in motels in 2023 across Dutchess, Ulster, Orange and Sullivan counties \u2014 more than double the number of families with children that were in motels in 2021 when New York had an eviction moratorium<\/a> in place and 21% higher than in 2018, according to a report from Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress, a regional advocacy group. Families with children are also staying longer in motels, with the average length of stay in Ulster County, where Krajewski lives, at around three years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like communities across the country, the Hudson Valley has seen a surge in home prices in recent years, driven by an influx of remote workers, second-home buyers and investors. Located within two hours of New York City along Amtrak and commuter rail lines, the largely rural area lining the Hudson River has been attracting high-income second-home buyers from the city for decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that trend was sent into hyperdrive during the pandemic, when around 40,000 New York City transplants moved into the four Hudson Valley counties of Dutchess, Ulster, Orange and Sullivan between 2020 and 2022, bringing with them incomes that were 70% higher than those of existing residents, according to an NBC News analysis of IRS tax filings.\u00a0\u00a0

\u201cFamilies in this region have been booted out the backside of a housing market that has sprinted away from them faster than they can keep up with,\u201d said Adam Bosch, CEO of Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress. \u201cThese are now working households living in hotels on public assistance. They are grocery store workers, they\u2019re certified nurses assistants, they\u2019re child care workers, they\u2019re restaurant servers and cooks, they\u2019re people making $16 to $20 an hour, who typically in this region would have been able to find a modest rent somewhere, but now those modest rents are gone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the region\u2019s housing supply has been somewhat constricted by short-term rentals. Of the 400,000 homes in the region, about 13% aren\u2019t occupied full time, including around 6,000 that are regularly booked as short-term rentals on Airbnb and Vrbo, a 20% increase from before the pandemic, according to data from analytics firm AirDNA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘I just want that back’<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Krajewski and her family began renting a three-bedroom apartment in 2017 for $1,000 a month in a house that had been divided into multiple rental units near downtown Kingston, where a growing number of trendy bars, restaurants and boutiques have been opening to cater to the crowd of second-home owners and weekend visitors. It was a comfortable amount on her husband\u2019s salary as a roofer and her income as a home health aide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, at the end of 2021, Krajewski was notified that her rent would be going up to $1,400 a month, outside of what she felt the family could afford. She began looking for another place, but she was entering a housing market seeing unprecedented levels of demand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ulster County, home prices have risen more than 70% since the start of the pandemic, with the typical home now listed<\/a> for $563,000, according to data from Realtor.com. At current interest rates, a household would have to make around $120,000 a year to be able to afford that home with a 20% down payment on a 30-year mortgage \u2014 well above the $85,000 median household income<\/a> for those living in the county. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With buying a home increasingly out of reach, more families are continuing to rent, putting added pressure on the rental market. The average rents in Ulster County have risen 28% since 2020 to around $1,500 a month, according to data from rental website\u00a0Zumper<\/a>. A\u00a0survey<\/a>\u00a0by county officials found that the median advertised rent in Ulster County for a studio apartment was $1,086 a month last year, with two-bedroom units listed for $1,836 a month.

After weeks of searching for another place, Krajewski came up empty-handed. With nowhere to go, the family was evicted and placed at a shelter for homeless families by the county\u2019s Department of Social Services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After six months at the shelter and still unable to find an apartment, the family moved in with Krajewski\u2019s mother, where they lived for a year and a half. But eventually, that living arrangement became untenable and the family decided to split up \u2014 something they expected to be a temporary solution. Krajewski\u2019s husband moved in with his mother, their teenage son joining him, and Krajewski and her daughters were placed at a motel by the county. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Krajewski is among the more than 150 homeless adults and children living in the Kingston Motel, once a destination for tourists seeking to enjoy the area\u2019s mountains, rivers and forests. Tipped-over tricycles and small bikes lay on the motel\u2019s parking lot, strollers are parked outside of rooms, and children loiter on the jungle gym and swing set in the motel\u2019s courtyard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many children living at the motel that the school buses regularly stop there and local organizations have put together after-school programs to keep the kids occupied.\u00a0

Krajewski has been trying to strike a delicate balance between making the place feel like a home for her daughters while not getting too comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I moved in, I said to my girls, \u2018We\u2019re not going to be here long, don\u2019t worry.\u2019 Well, that came and went,\u201d she said. \u201cThere are families that have lived here for two, three years \u2014 that can\u2019t be me, it can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the stress of living in a cramped space, Krajewski worries about the long-term consequences for her entire family. The experience has taken a particular toll on her 13-year-old daughter, who has recently started getting into trouble at school and is now in therapy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The middle schooler\u2019s social circle has shrunk to a few girls who also live at the motel. On a recent rainy evening, her daughter and a few other kids were bouncing between motel rooms before coming to Krajewski\u2019s unit, where they sat on the beds, scrolling on their phones while Krajewski made them turkey subs for dinner.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know in my heart that everything that she\u2019s done or has been going through wouldn\u2019t have happened if this did not happen,\u201d she said of her daughter. \u201cIt\u2019s situational, it\u2019s where we are, it\u2019s who she\u2019s around. Had we stayed in an apartment or found a cute little home, none of this would have happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also worries about their safety. There are frequent fights around the motel and signs of drug use, she said. In the year she\u2019s lived there, a pregnant 14-year-old was involved in a knife fight, a man who had lived next door to her pulled a knife on her friend, and the police had to evacuate part of the motel when a domestic dispute escalated.\u00a0

The fighting is particularly distressing for her 10-year-old daughter. When there is fighting in the room next door, Krajewski said her daughter will start crying and want to hide in the bathroom with her mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s things that they\u2019ve never had to be afraid of and without the comfort of their big dad around,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s me, I\u2019m the only one and I have to make them feel safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her daughters only see their father and brother on Sundays when they spend the day together while Krajewski works her shift at a local grocery store. For her and her husband, their housing struggles have put a strain on their marriage of 18 years, leaving the future of their relationship in doubt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe consequences of this is that my family has been separated,\u201d she said. \u201cMy girls have lost their brother. I miss my son. I cry all the time. My God, is it hard. It\u2019s been a year without him under my roof. I\u2019d never been away from him before. I want to see my kids hanging out together, all three of them. I haven\u2019t seen that in a year, the three of them together. I just want that back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After losing their apartment, Krajewski also lost her car and had to stop working as a home health aide. Living at the motel, she has had to limit her job search to places along the bus line. The best job she could find was a position at the deli counter of a grocery store making $18 an hour. She\u2019s usually scheduled to work just 12 hours a week even though she\u2019s asked for more hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018How we get out of this\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a chain of events that could have been avoided had there been a place for the family to rent for $1,200 a month, something that would have been within reach prior to the pandemic, said Rich Gohl, who works for RUPCO, a nonprofit organization that advocates for housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gohl was with Krajewski and her family on the day they were evicted from their apartment, and he has been working with them over the past three years to help them find stable housing. But Gohl said the demand for affordable housing far exceeds what\u2019s available. Of the hundreds of individuals he works with, he\u2019s only able to find permanent housing for two or three of them each month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re getting the typical Joe Middle Class family that has always stood on their own feet, and now they are literally in despair where they\u2019ve given up hope,\u201d Gohl said. \u201cIt\u2019s a very sad state of affairs.\u201d

Under New York state\u2019s right to shelter law, local organizations are required to provide some form of shelter to homeless people. When the shelters are full, as they increasingly are most days, local governments have been turning to motels, which they pay for the nightly rates of around $100 with a combination of local, state and federal emergency housing dollars. For those who are working but making below a certain threshold, a portion of their income is used to pay for the motel, with government funds covering the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The costs can quickly add up. The typical monthly bill for the motels in the Hudson Valley area is around $3,000 a month, far exceeding what it would cost to help someone pay for rent on an apartment. Ulster County spent around $4 million housing families in motels in 2023, according to RUPCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But local governments are only able to use emergency housing funds for temporary shelter, like a motel or shelter bed, not for longer-term stable housing. While the federal government does offer housing vouchers to help lower-income families pay for rent, there are lengthy waitlists for those vouchers because the demand exceeds the amount of funding available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPutting people in hotels is the worst conceivable scenario that we have,\u201d Bosch said. \u201cIt\u2019s bad for the public purse because we\u2019re paying twice as much money for an outcome that\u2019s a quarter as good as if we could just get them into a rental and help bridge this gap with either a voucher or some supportive housing.\u201d

Once families find themselves living out of a motel, Gohl said he sees many struggle to re-enter the traditional housing market. In addition to being able to afford the rising rents, many landlords want tenants to pay the first and last months\u2019 rent, a security deposit, and a brokers\u2019 fee when they sign a lease. That can add up to more than $4,000 in upfront costs for a $1,500 a month apartment. Landlords also typically require tenants to have a credit score of at least 650 and are wary of renting to anyone with an eviction on their record, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gohl said he sees many individuals seemingly stuck in a system where they can\u2019t get ahead financially. Working families in motels have to pay a portion of their income toward the nightly cost of the room, which in some cases can be nearly as much as they would pay for rent on an apartment \u2014 if they could find one. Since the more they earn, the more they pay, it can become difficult to save up for a security deposit, vehicle or other major expense. As their incomes go up, people also lose access to other benefits, like food stamps and subsidized child care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leaves government-funded subsidized housing as the primary way most families transition from motels back into long-term housing. RUPCO manages 670 affordable apartment units in the Hudson Valley where the tenants pay a portion of their income toward rent and the organization covers the remaining costs. But openings in those apartments are few and far between, Gohl said.\u00a0

Slowly and steadily, though, the number of subsidized housing units has been increasing in the Hudson Valley. RUPCO is in the process of converting a shuttered Quality Inn into 83 rental apartments for homeless individuals with special needs and low-income households. The project should open in 2026 and will include onsite child care, a communal kitchen, and a swimming pool for residents and the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krajewski has been on the waitlist for subsidized housing, which may be her only chance out of the Kingston Motel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how we get out of this,\u201d she said. \u201cI really don’t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only light at the end of the tunnel she sees is the tax return she and her husband are expecting early next year. With that money, she is hoping to buy a cheap car so she can start working again as a home health aide or get another job that isn\u2019t dependent on the bus line where she can work more hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I have a car, so much opens up for me,\u201d she said. \u201cThis year changed everything in my life, and 2025 is going to fix it all. That\u2019s the only thing I can say. I have to stay positive. I can\u2019t put myself back into that mindset of feeling bad for myself; that\u2019s not going to get me anywhere.\u201d
