Hollywood Workers Struggle with Evictions and Seek Rent Aid During Strikes
Hollywood workers, including actors, writers, and crew members, are facing eviction and seeking rent assistance as strikes in the industry continue. The work stoppage has caused a significant impact on their income, leading to difficulties in paying rent and bills. Hollywood organizations such as the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Entertainment Community Fund, and Motion Picture & Television Fund have been providing grants to help workers cover their housing costs. The housing challenges are exacerbated by the pandemic, with some individuals already struggling financially before the strikes. The average rent in Los Angeles is high, making it difficult for workers to sustain their living expenses.
