While no U.S. housing market has been immune to high home prices and rising interest rates, owning homes in these regions faces an additional hurdle. Homeowners’ insurance premiums have risen, which has made owning a home in these areas more expensive.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday.
