Teacher in the Azores jumped from island to island until she secured a position, now she can't afford to pay for her house
A housing crisis affects both the mainland and the islands of the Azores. A 42-year-old teacher, after ten years of working across the nine islands, has finally secured a permanent position in São Miguel but struggles to find affordable housing. Despite the availability of new constructions, they are primarily aimed at the luxury market, making rental prices unaffordable for the working population.
