Odessa Boom Strains Housing For Working Homeless
Odessa faces a housing crisis as oil patch growth brings workers and scarce apartments. Rent for a one bed climbs to 419 dollars, with some units at 650 to 900 monthly. Waiting lists for housing and daycare stretch two to three months, leaving families homeless or forced to shelters while seeking work and affordable homes. Odessa LINKS and the Homeless Coalition call forstate and community action to fund transitional housing and incentives to build affordable units.
