“I plan to pay off my debts and build up my credit while staying in a PadSplit for about six months before buying my own place,” says Bill, a PadSplit member and teacher in Austin, Texas. “The problem with traditional affordable housing here is that most teachers make just above the maximum amount you can make to qualify. Even if you qualify for it, the rent for affordable housing is still $1,200-$1,300,” says Bill.
