Hard Working and Still Can’t Afford a Home

Kyla and her husband, Andrew, say that despite both working full-time jobs, they’ve been priced out of the rental market and are now living out of their van. How did they end up in this situation, and is there a way out?

Then, meet Simon, whose story went viral after he revealed that he was secretly living in his company’s office building to avoid rent hikes after a long-awaited pay raise never materialized.

Dr. Phil also sits down with Caleb, a YouTube and TikTok personality who has been documenting the reality of housing in New York City. He takes Dr. Phil on a tour of some of the tiniest apartments in the five boroughs—spaces so small they barely seem livable.

Meanwhile, J.R. says he has no choice but to live in a 95-square-foot studio with a communal bathroom just to afford life in the city. And Stewart Silver, who has been providing a safe haven for working homeless families, says he is now being forced to evict them due to government intervention.

With housing instability reaching crisis levels, what can be done to help those who are struggling? Don’t miss this powerful episode as Dr. Phil shines a light on the harsh reality of America’s housing crisis.
